[ilds] Query re 'Tunc'

[Bruce Redwine]

Very good question.  But I can't answer — I haven't read Revolt!  I will say, however, that Durrell's allusions (or maybe symbols, in this case) are rarely, if ever, casual.  They are there for some very good reason.

Does anyone have any comment on the significance of this name in this context?
