I don't see your case being made yet, but I admit Canto One raises some
questions:
1. What is that paste?
2. Why did Shade have those attacks so regularly for one winter?
3. Why did they stop?
My biggest difficulty w/ Maud as molester is that she's clearly portrayed as a
lesbian, and would thus not be interested in a little boy. Also, she and any
hint of this theory disappear after Canto One. Can you trace this deeper into
the book?
