VV(13) - Dream a Little One for Me

[jbor]

Thanks, I'll happily stand corrected on that particular point. 

I guess this brings up the issue of Mondaugen's characterisation in _V._ and
that in _GR_. We seem to be agreeing that Mondaugen's final act in leaving
the Siege Party is affirmative, but I'm not sure that he comes across as
such an positive character in the later novel at all. And, I guess it's also
easy to overlook that he's telling the story here, and so would undoubtedly
paint himself in a flattering light. And let's not forget that our boy Kurt
is working on missile guidance systems for ol' Bloody Chiclitz out on Long
Island there in the mid-50s as well. (Re. problematisations &c ... )
