Welcome to GRGR (20)! This will cover Part 3, sections 12 and 13, from
page 433 to page 456 in the Viking and Penguin editions. There will be
seven more posts of information and opinions to kick this part off as
follows:
1. A summary with questions and comments for pp.433-47 (Part 3.12)
2. Part one of some _Companion_ style notes for the section
referenced above. This time I only included notes on the text about
which I was able to find more or more correct information than
Weisenburger has given us. If there are still some who don't have this
valuable book and need anything translated or a reference explained
feel free to ask.
3. Part two of the notes for Part 3, section 12.
4. A summary with questions and comments for pp.448-56 (Part 3.13)
5. Part one of the notes for this section.
6. Part one of the notes for this section. Actually this is one long
note regarding Fritz Lang's _Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler_ and connections
with the events and characters in _GR_.
7. A "Special Topic" post entitled "Is It OK to Be a Manichean?"
This will briefly explore the use of dualisms in _GR_, particularly in
the two sections being discussed, and whether this might be indicative
of the way the world is divided or just the way people delude
themselves into believing it is divided.
I hope you find something interesting in all this and hopefully it will
provoke some lively discussion. Hiyo Silver!!
Michael
