[ilds] Oswald Spengler

[James Gifford]

Hi Bruce,

The Dickson is in the /Deus Loci/ Special Issue 5.1 (sorry, I clipped 
the SI off to avoid confusion anyone -- that's how I listed it in the 
online bibliography).  I've attached a cover shot.

Alas, /DL/ isn't in JSTOR, but some of the newer issues are in EBSCO. 
Labrys isn't likely to be in any databases but your local library can 
probably get a copy through interlibrary loan.  Mosaic can be had 
through Project Muse and should be in your local university library.

As for Spengler, he's certainly used by Durrell.  The matter of free 
will and determinism in Spengler aligns with the quotation from 
Dostoevsky's /Underground Man/ that opens Tunc, and the architectural 
discussions merit comparison.

Cheers,
James
