Speaking of foxes ...

[Monte Davis]

*Very* interesting. Are you aware of any critical writing that concentrates
on the "fox, dog, hunt, predator/prey" cluster running through GR? I don't
know why, but it has caught my eye much more this time through than ever
before.

FWIW, there's also David Garnett's 1922 Lady Into Fox and an hommage to it,
Jean Bruller (Vercors)'s 1960  Sylva. Vercors himself had been hunted by
Germans as a Maquisard in occupied France.
