[ilds] Selected Fictions

[Bruce Redwine]

Marc,

I don't see the difference.  I stand in front of three mirrors and  
project three images.  My wife looks at one and sees a husband, my son  
a father, someone else a sonuvabitch.  They're all me, multiple me's.   
It's easy to get lost in Keats's notion about "negative  
capability" (see Keats's letters to George and Thomas Keats, 21  
December 1817 and to Richard Woodhouse, 27 October 1818), just as it's  
hard to grasp Durrell's "many negatives" (which may be a play on or  
allusion to Keats).  Read their poetry instead.
