Hello there C,
-- could you clarify the question a little? If you are trying to determine
-- which of the books "complements" COL49, I'm not sure any
-- do......anymore than the rest may complement eachother....
Just wanted to know, if any of his other works have important thematic or
symbolic connections with COL49 ;) Meaning, what next? I have this rather
fancy notion, that there is some red line throughout all of his works,
albeit rumours can very well be wrong. Are they? Well, to be on the safe
side I should perhaps add, that when I read COL49, I found the experience
truly breathtaking. I guess I'm searching for more of that... :I
-- bear in mind, that to some on this list, COL49 is a "trivial" work ( I
-- happen to disagree).
Ehm... Well, do you mean that a COL49 discussion would be considered beneath
the actual essence of this discussion group? Pardon my questions, but I'd
better make myself aquinted with the rules engangement around here :)
-- but if we told you, we'd have to kill you.....most of us are just
-- refugees from Sun Ra's Arkestra......
Hmmm...
-- If salvation includes the epiphany that there really isn't anyone out
-- there, then perhaps......but views likely vary....
I'm afraid I meant a religious salvation, something I could imagine would
disgust some of the old timers. Seriously though, I have been having those
notions for some time now, and would like any critical feedback. I find the
very non-structured skeleton of the work, a sign of that in itself...
-- as long as you are a doctrinaire free trader......
I'll give it my best shot. No need to worry, we Danes are fanaticly humble
by nature ;)
With regards
Soren.
