I cannot either except abstractly.....if time were like
space, then all time would be "visible" so to speak?

Anyway, I want to suggest that this reinforces the notion
that time is NOT a dimension [whatever that does mean]
in this novel........

That Yashmeen might be......???????

716 10 Mariahilf - 6th Bezirk of Vienna (probably irrelevant
to think of Dantean circles here)
landmark in Mariahilf today is a Flakturm which was made into
an aquarium
There's another one in the Stiftskaserne (didn't we
hang out there earlier?)
...Flakturms being big concrete towers built by
Hitler* for air raid shelters...

*well, he didn't build them himself, did he?
though as Monte mentioned,
managerial talent is important...
it's like having a Maxwell's demon in your workgroup

a person of (possibly relevant) fame who
came from Mariahilf: Oskar Werner, the actor
who played "Jules" in "Jules et Jim"
- threesomes having somewhat of a role in AtD


here's totally out-of-place reference
682 - "Thngtngtngtng tong-tong
Tng-tng tong...."
-- just realized, this is the riff from "Kung Fu Fighting"
apologies if already mentioned...


716 15 Snazzbury's Silent Frock appears again.
Kinda sexy (like the measuring scenes earlier)

716 23 "something significant had shaken her"
maybe the seance with Reef, maybe the breakup with Kit,
maybe offstage events
that might be deducible...but not by me tonight...
