Recog ch 2 last word is "alchemy" in that chapter

[Mark Kohut]

seconded in clarification (although I can't yet second the Stanley ob without 
committing fraud)



but they don't really. Many of them are frauds but not all of them,
Stanley being the most obvious example in TR (its no coincidence that
he ends the book I think). Moreover, the frauds by their very words
though they are speaking "fraudulently" by their their very act of
speaking and our reading thereof are speaking the truth of some kind
which is what true art is about I suppose
