Hello, all you fab p-list folks. Just to say I am a bit of the walking
wounded at the moment---five stiches and a limp. In fact I think I may
have two limps, one inside and one out, although I don't know what
it is I am trying to say.
I have just downloaded a fair number of abstracts which have come in during
the past
ten days. I'm up at Edinburgh University Tuesday-Weds. and then a bit of
walking in
the Lea of Dean (hey Andy, up for a stroll with the Limpin' Lefty?) for another
few days so---please don't get frustrated if you don't get a response quickly.
When I'm back next week I'll get back down to Biz. And if anyone needs
any info in the next week, leave a message with Sophie Chambers at King's Cl,
the hip PIPS admin and I'll be speaking with her at the end of each day.
Till then, keep the faith,
Eric
PS---I am going to get Prince Charles to read Gravity's Rainbow---
the only way to save him is to turn him into a cheery, cackling
mad obsessive bastard. Perhaps he could read it aloud at Princeton
next year, keep Mike Wood busy odering those groovy cocktails.
Maybe he'll even start to speak more clearly (Charles, not Mike.)
By the way, which world leader, minus Havel in Ceck, is most likely
to read Pynchon? Does Clinton keep a copy in his footlocker? Mandela?
Maybe Mary Robinson of Ireland? I like Mary Robinson. I think I may have
had a drink with her and Havel once, but that may have been a dream.
