Rewritten – Being again?

MEH.

Moses the merchant becomes Moses the lecturer. Moves from 13 Saint Kevin's St Dublin to a country house in western Massachusetts. A man of business become a man of unsent letters.

ER.

Edward a lord of the manor on the North York Moors becomes a wealthy carefree traveller in Spanish Town, Jamaica, offered £30,000 to marry. He does of course, who wouldn't. More fool him.

RB.

Poor old long suffering Rhett, professional black sheep of Charleston and latterly Atlanta is revived but briefly to find he has a child born in Ireland to a woman he has not knowingly had sex with for years and whom he had left with a frankly brilliant exit line. But the frankly was added for the film version.

GENERAL

Of course prequels and sequels are ten a penny (or rather very much more than that ) in cinema and RB and ER are prequeled – but by different writers – JJ's MEH is retasked completely by SB. Who got the biggest shock? Did MEH (did SB borrow that added middle initial from Michael E. Geraghty) know of Freud? (check Wikipedia) – but maybe – Jewish after all – did MEH ever get the final instalment of the bill (25 shillings and 6 pence). Did SB copy SB? No no no.

OMNIUM! OMNIUM!

OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM? OMNIUM?

O M N I U M – code? Acronym? Quando? Quanto?

Who is Sylvia? What is she?

What is the Greek connexion? Isn't Lazarou a Greek genitive? Where does he live? It's always dark when I'm there and the shutters are closed – shutters? – why shutters? Suggests intense sunshine – or snow? Where is this man's partner? OK it IS nightime but … (Does nightime have two Ts?). He often mentions Greek things when he's talking online with that insomniac vampire in San Francisco. MM is it – yes MM – queer as a four dollar bill indeed – but he does have a full set OED so no fool anyway. But who is the guy in Brighton? Doeshe matter or is he just "local colour"?
How did he get my typewriter? Why? Does he know about Flann's theory? Was it green when I had it? This notebook/place is all questions and precious few answers. How can this be the basis for a new work? What is his interest in or connexion with N.A. Native Americans? Using Tecumseh as his avatar. And an online friend who's Native American – a Lakota. His online life seems to be some kind of lifeline as well as his key research resource.

Did I hear dogs barking? How to get into those Chinese boxes – I must know what he has in mind for his plot. Does he sense me there? Significance of Dave – who is he and why is he very lucky? Dick says he is a black and white guy but how to find out – is it relevant? Has he published? – check!

Why nothing from the Jill woman? Did she get the email? And Finn has been quiet – why? Notebook? Question book more like.

why shoe box?

why did I call this thing another shoe box? There must be some significance but what? the shoe boxes on Laz's desk? I know I know them but from where? Are they really shoeboxes or are they spoting those looks as a disguise? Like the boxes I keep my notes in for a novel. I know them – I know I know them but from where? Flann? and that typewriter – I know that too. Think think. Is this the 5th shoebox? Is 5 a prime? is that important? why is the typewriter green and did it really glow or did I imagine it? must get back to Finn – not molecular interchange but quantum – bicycle why do I keep thinking of a bicycle? are these things connected? could be. what is in those shoe boxes? why did I shudder when Andreas said "You're a very licky man Dave" – didn't Abby use that exact phrase a day or so back – check – yes she did Am I getting overly suspicious? Probably. Sleep. Get some sleep – tomorrow is another day and tonigh who knows – he may be writing again … 

notes for reply to Finn

not purely textual – concrete – physical

bicycle in 3rd policeman – molecular interchange (but at quantum level) – Flann's theory
fabric – warp and woof – text reality versus physical reality

De Selby – Trellis- trellos -
who is this  Jaakko Hintikka?

Echoes of Eco – fictional woods – realm of the nose? -

can Barthes help us here?  

Somewhere private

I am hoping that this is a place away from prying eyes – somewhere to share the less public parts of my problem with trusted friends. I shall begin by posting my email correspondence so far with Finn and Jill (and that includes the cryptic message I recieved the other day and that may be from Finn). I shall try to remember to post all email over here.
