This is all so germane to my work on Magellan, from seeking "derivation of the individuality of characters from the historical peculiarity of their age" to finding that "some of the most interesting historical fiction of this type explores the period or periods of transition between the pre-modern and the modern." If it weren't for these two concentrations, I likely would not have felt the impetus to tell the story.
Foucault say the body is just more story! Of course! Foucault is really a Vajrayana Buddhist. You have made me so happy with this insight.
Fabulous work. I look forward to seeing this in print!
Thanks, Simon--me too!
Terrific, John. Still hoping with your busy life to get you back ... but that doesn't look hopeful. Still sending admiration ...
Oh, you absolutely will, Mary!
