To be dubbed as at one time "our colleague" and "our friend" by Doctor
T. Unwin (whose friend or whose colleague it hasn't been my blessing
to be) is OK, as a gracious bit of epistolary rhetoric, by me.
So, for that matter, is the very probable idea that one has
"missed the point."
My own point, lost on or unclearly stated for Dr. Unwin, was that
fiction is no exception to a rule of common sense -- all unrefuted
by more exotic rules of literary-critical fashion: that ALL of art,
not excluding the novel, is selective, as is consciousness in life
itself. That Flaubert's principles of selection should not
coincide with Dr. Unwin's penchant for the odds (in one-time
real-life French sexual promiscuity) on cenception -- it is
all unsurprising.
It is with a hearty *obviously* that Dr. Unwin modifies my being
a partisan of THE ""fiction-has-nothing-to-do-with-reality" approach."
About that he is wrong: I can't conceive of fiction EXCEPT as
having only-ever and alone "to do with reality."
Reality is the problem.

I've learned my lesson. I made what I thought was a joke about Jughead
following on the heels of Archie and Veronica and waspromptly informed that
Jughead lives in several gopher holes. No one has told me yet what he does,
however. Perhaps he registers copyrights for all the titles that Archie and
Veronica point to!!

"Now that we have Archie and Veronica, can Jughead be far behind?"
-- indeed not! Jughead has been on the net for some time, I believe,
as a particular site's application of gopher (it is, *of course* :-)
an acronym for: Just Use Gopher Heavily, Especially After Dark)
But, alas! -- I've forgotten which site: someone else will have to
fill us all in on that one.
Judy Koren, haifa.

Subject: James Joyce Discussion List
There have been several queries in the last few months about
a general discussion list for James Joyce. There is an unmoderated list
at the University of Utah which does not behave like some listservs.
To add your name to the mailing list, send a message to
j-joyce-request@cc.utah.edu
To send a message to persons on the list, write to
j-joyce@cc.utah.edu
Since the postmaster who manages the request list is not
a member of the mailing list itself, you must use the first address
to get on or off the list. A message send to the second address
will not ordinarily be seen by the postmaster. Since the Joyce list
operates like a simple alias the usual listserv commands do not apply.
