Subject: PUPT: Secret Lives, revealed!!

Hey folks,
	Just after I posted my reply to Preston concerning "The Secret
Lives of Puppets," I opened up this week's edition of the Village Voice
and, lo and behold, there in the Education Supplement was an interview
with
the book's author, Victoria Nelson. Turns out her grad school studies
were
in Lit Crit and Polynesian Archaology, and her previous book was on
Hawaii.
Ms. Nelson is interviewed by Toni Schlesinger (whose regular Voice
collumn
deals with people's apartments.) At the end of the interview, Toni cuts
to
the chase and asks the question,"So, what is the secret life of
puppets?"
Ms. Nelson's reply is as follows:

	They are our own secret life that we know so little about, our
own
human secret life that we displaced in our machines. It is our own magic
coming back at us that we don't recognize and it's our own souls and..."


	So, there you have it. I saved everyone $29 plus shipping (Sorry
Ray.)

	Stephen
