potocki & bunel

[Paul DiFilippo]

Just had a couple of "artistic" experiences that seem to relate
to TRP.
1)  Read new English translation of Jan Potocki's THE MANUSCRIPT
FOUND AT SARAGOSSA, an untterly bizarre Arabian Nights-Don-Quixote-
Illuminati experience.  Influence on TRP?
2)  Caught showing of Bunel's BELLE DE JOUR, re-released after 20-odd
years in a private collector's possession.  Given TRP's fondness
for surrealism, is it possible to imagine him taking his
significant other out for a night on the town to catch said flick
(after his meal of Mexican food, natch)?
