All agreed, even if the reference to the financial crisis seems a stretch. I still think we should go on with BE. Unfinished business and very much worth our while, I believe.<br>

Regretfully, I can still not offer to host a session, as I have to do things in my own time. I am therefore not really in a position to complain if no-one else finds the time and/or energy to continue...<br>

As an aside: I much prefer you waxing poetical over Melville and Pynchon to you bellowing "Putin must be punished!"<br>

Only problem is with the idea of the great American novel, a concept<br>
that has, if nothing else, made for pulp and grist to/for/from the<br>
mill, but it's difficult to dismiss Melville's great white whale as<br>
candidate, and for Pynchon fans, in the world of great books,<br>
Moby-Dick or The Whale is a great influence. The common whiteness<br>
theme alone needs further development, and, as Melville's monstrosity<br>
gained critical mass when the excesses of market capitalism capsized<br>
the nation and the world's economy, it's seem a revisiting Melville<br>
now makes much ado of something, though what that something is has yet<br>
to be defined, though some will name it and paint it in clear shades<br>
of blackness, it seems so like the mysterious whale itself that<br>
smashes down on the masts of industry and greed, then suck all down in<br>
a Vortex to the bottomless perdition where God's foot weaves the<br>
tapestry, the mantle of Varo's Earth.<br>
