For those who prefer Tell . . .
(The title refers to the previous post.)
"There is a house in New Orleans…
Not the one you've heard about,
I'm talking about another house.
They spoke of gold in the cellar
That a Spanish gentleman had left…"
— Song lyric by David Berman suggested by
his New Yorker elegy
"Reddington and Vesco are watching the opera,
and the plan begins."

Rabbi
“We’ll give the week-end to wisdom, to Weisheit, the rabbi….”
— Wallace Stevens in “Things of August” (see Storyville yesterday)
My choice for a rabbi would be George Steiner.

INTERVIEWER You once referred to the “patience of apprehension” and “open-endedness of asking” which fiction can enact, and yet you have described your fictions as “allegories of argument, stagings of ideas.” Do you still consider them to be “stagings of ideas”? GEORGE STEINER Very much so. My writing of fiction comes under a very general heading of those teachers, critics, scholars who like to try their own hand once or twice in their lives. |
For one such staging, see today’s earlier posts Chess and Frame Tale.
