aw. RE: lagan or ligan/: Carl Schmitt: Land vs. Sea

[Robert Mahnke]

Not that you were asking me, but I think he likes the concept of
inherent vice, and in IV introduces not a whole lot more maritime law
than needed to provide the context for it.  But then there's this:
Maritime law is an esoteric, alternate set of rules used to order a
world most of us live near but do not share, a reminder that it
doesn't have to be this way; it could be different -- indeed, we could
devise a different set of norms and laws.  When the fog lifts, maybe
we could find ourselves at sea.

Haven't really thought about maritime law in his other novels.
