[ilds] pinching Spengler

[J. A. Kobayashi]

Thanks Jacob,

Having read *The Alexandria Quartet* seven times since discovering Lawrence
Durrell seven years ago and having also written a twenty page long critical
history of it for a semester long Junior Seminar course without getting
burnt out on him or his work, I sincerely doubt that that would be the case
for this thesis but one can never be sure (although I do think I'm sure).
It is great to hear that there are other undergraduates working on him, I
remember having reading a post of yours once before through this discussion
group and thinking the same thing then as well.  Best of luck to you too!
