Henry,
   
  Some recent hosting set anyone up for some potentially deep
  criticism of AtD.....hell, I liked the book yet I find problems.....
   
  Be a foil.....criticize.......sharpen all our awarenesses.......and maybe
  your dislike will even sharpen?
   
  "mess".........good place to start......
  the "unity" of the book is..........hard to discern,(by me) to say the least.
  Me or the book?
   
  H. James, Pugnax's reading, spoke of most long novels as "loose baggy monsters"  
  My essay would begin with how AtD ,whatever it is,  it ain't "loose".......so encryptedly
  tight.......yet..........all those conincidences in the last quarter............???
   
  Best,
  mark
