TMoP Chap 11...p. 134 Memories of the Imagination

[Mark Kohut]

D. "Is that the answer to the question to himself? IS that what she is setting him free to do: to write a book of evil? And to what end? To liberate himself from evil or to cut hiself off from good?"

Cf. Milton "of Satan's party"....Shakespeare, something about having to
know evil to write about it..................

Coetzee suggests?: Work about evil PARTAKES of evil? Or discharges it?
