I meant hunted not haunted looks. but H, where I disagree with you about octavian nothing and with roger about all writers engaging in a subtle form of didacticism is that in allegory as well as in didactic books, the author starts out knowing what he wants to say and he tells or teaches it to the reader.

And, h, I think it's interesting how you use octavian nothing as an example and the idea that we don't know what will be as it happens, just afterwards when it becomes history does it become the official story because this is so exactly what happens to the writer who is immersed in a book.

"allegory is doing for others gift wrapped." anon, you rock. but are you saying that you think octavian and magic smell, or are you saying that you think my interpretation is way off?
