Heading off on a Sunday morning tangent while half asleep in frog pajamas... <br /><br />Jesuits are know spies!<br /><br />In his novel Skinny Legs and All, Tom Robbins offers a similar but updated interpretation of the dance of the seven veils. With each veil the dancer removes, a different worldly illusion is challenged and shattered. Memorably, the dancer in Robbin's novel removes the veil covering her groin first and saves the one covering her face and head for last, suggesting that the dance is not about titillation, but about shedding one's worldly hangups.GOODSTUFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297008455232643250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-23331938444142702512015-03-14T17:29:01.582-05:002015-03-14T17:29:01.582-05:00I love Thomas Pynchon- "Gravity's Rainbow...I love Thomas Pynchon- "Gravity's Rainbow" is just about my favorite. I like James Joyce, too, but I don't even try to write like that. <br /><br />Used to.<br /><br />Then I discovered Vonnegut. Vonnegut's thing is to simply write what you mean. "If I broke all the rules of punctuation, had words mean whatever I wanted them to mean, and strung them together higgledly-piggledy, I would simply not be understood. So you, too, had better avoid Picasso-style or jazz-style writing if you have something worth saying and wish to be understood."<br /><br />So I try to just keep it simple.
