VV(11): Fingernails

[Dave Monroe]

Oh, yeah, all of that, and then some, no doubt.  And
that's what I was getting at in re: that "flickering
fine line."  Again, though, deconstruction does not
elide, much less eliminate (a la, say, that Hegelian
aufhebung that's come up recently--and thanks for all
the notes, Kurt-Werner, much enlightenment, indeed!),
said binaries ...  

In the meantime, whilst everyone else is anxious to
get to "Mondaugen's Story," I'm sure, I'm looking
forward not only to SHOCK and SHROUD, but to The Rape
of the Chinese Virgins and the dismantling of the Bad
Priest as well.  Of course, I've got to finish off me
own chapter here first, so ... well, just let me get
some breakfast, and, esp., some coffee in me here
first ...
