Good advice. I would love to read a paper on androgyny in CL49 and
Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own. Or Oed and her men or Oed's
sterility or Oed and the sexual revolution or Oed's housewife
conservatism or Oedipa & Uncle Sam or Oedipa and California dreaming or
Oedipa and the Berkeley scene or Oedipa and Bartleby or Oedipa and
children or Oedipa won't grow up or Oedipa's fear of trying to keep cool
and care or Oedipa and suburban sterility or Oedipa as catch 22 or
Oedipa in love or Oedipa hexed or Oedipa and Woody Allen go to a play,
What Oedipa doesn't believe in, Miles and a Lady named Oedipa, Mothers
and homosexuals in CL49, Oedipa and lawyers at the bottom of the lake,
Oedipa & the looking glass, Oedipa's looking glass kaleidoscope eye,
Oedipa's tears or why Oedipa cries, Oedipa's teamwork & detectives work
alone, Oedipa and cartoons, Melville's mutes and the muted horn in Cl49,
Varo scientific hoax, Oedipa & that's not what I meant at all-D. Tannen
and linguistics in CL49.....
