NPPF hiatus?

[David Morris]

I agree with this suggestion.  Both you and Jasper have posted great notes that
deserve more than the silence of this half-absent audience.  I just returned
from ten days away from computers or even TV, and didn't bring PF with me (I'm
halfway through "Absalom, Absalom"), so I'll aim to re-focus on PF for a
re-start after Labor Day.

That said, I do think a part of the problem stalling discussion is that we all
have now read the poem and Commentary at least once and we all know some of the
basic theories of narration/"authorship" (including wild and indeterminate
Keithian postulates), and at this point we are left with sifting through reams
of data, mirror-images, shadows and hints, but no synthesis seems in sight.  So
we can play with all these bits and pieces, but I know that I at least feel
somewhat at a loss for direction...

See you next week

and there were scant few to Jasper's substitute hosting of the first piece of
the Commentary. (Which I lost to a server idiosyncrasy, by the way, and I'd be
grateful if somebody would either repost Jasper's notes or forward them to me
offlist.)

All right?
