What I'm impressed with is DG's twining of the names of our characters with those of well-known (other) fictional ones. And not only their names but something of their tragedies as well. Does she do this purposely or by accident, do you/we think? *I'm* inclined to consider that the woman does very little 'by accident'! -- Broch Talk

[> [> Gayle—it would be great to know how creative genius operates! I sometimes think that while writers may not intentionally embed these literary connections in their novels, they tiptoe in anyway. A writer like DG is so well read that I suspect all that free-floating knowledge in her subconscious just bubbles up into her writing, which gives her work an uncommon depth and richness. -- JessieR, 18:06:55 02/26/09 Thu
