No, no, David, I am certainly not guilty )
and I hope you're not going to
say I protest too much--that would be too predictable) of the Americocentrist
fallacy--I only inquired whether you were writing from the US because you had
mentioned to me the possibility of your coming to the US in the Dartmouth dining
hall--it is that simple.  No, I expected you were writing from Pietermaritzburg
because you had family and an established position there--I was assuming nothingbut hoping that you were closer so we might more frequently expect to meet at
conferences etc.  Gandhi of course did begin his personal transformation--and
SA is hardly something anyone on this postcolonial list can afford to think of
as a distant corner of the world.

Yes, it was a son who was born at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and he
is well, thanks.  I hope your family are well too--I remember you had to be away
from them for so long that year.
I don't want to take up space here for a private chat, but it is good to hear from you
