Gothicism in Postmodern Anglo-American Narratives and Media

[davemarc]

Thanks to Otto for this helpful bit of information. What a difference
Spätzünder would have made! It would have had rich meaning (in 1984 at
least), but it wouldn't have been as faithful to the original, I think.

Appreciatively,

d.
