dudemanflab's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oops So, I gave my pastor a copy of Elizabeth Costello, a book by J. M. Coetzee, overliterary in many parts. He gave it back, with a piece of tape, neon-marked, at the end of chapter five. "It was pornographic." he said as he handed it to me, "I read to the end of "The Humanities in Africa" until she described the encounter with the old man, and if that was pornographic, I couldn't expect much more from the chapter called 'Eros.'" Man, I should have thought more about letting him borrow it, but I didn't think of the scene as pornographic. Gonna reread it this afternoon, and decide. 1:16 p.m. - November 11, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
