Lucio Angelo and all concerned --

not sure if Ovid's enjoyable, occasionally radical and always colorful
_Metamorphoses Liber_ is the place to go with Frere Blanchot, since it
_spirat_ happily toward its ending and finds no difficulty therein. Far
better, though guaranteeing a loss of sleep, to read Blanchot's
introduction to de Sade and then cut across three lanes of traffic to
Seneca's _Thyestes_, which puts Blanchot's interpretation of de Sade
literally into the mouth of its namesake, handily picking up the VII-X split
and making it look easy.

It's not, though,

J.
