Alan,

Thank you for posting that -- I do like Tom Stoppard a lot
(especially _Travesties_ and _Dogg's Hamlet and Cahoot's
Macbeth_ and ... Oh, heck: I like Tom Stoppard), and what
he says here does seem relevant.

In fact, I _do_ have some thoughts on how one can make a
useful and empirical and all that stuff definition of "good"ness
for a piece of fiction, but they are (for the moment) insufficiently
choate for me to post anything about them, and anyway I
want to see if anyone else comes up with a similar approach.
