<p>FYI. What do you suppose a Care Facility is?</p>
<p>If I were still in Illinois I would volunteer to go to Peoria
and help out in some way -- wash dishes or cook or do laundry or
walk the dog or something -- though I can imagine a thousand
ways in which such assistance however well-meant would quickly
become misguided and awkward.<br>
</p>
<p>Marc, I'm looking forward to reading thoroughly your
three-volume exegesis. I have returned repeatedly to the only
volume I have seen so far, which is the first.</p>

... I looked at Land Across again yesterday. The problem is
multifoliate - I am not entirely burnt out but I am waiting for
the light of stability to hit and solidify all the small
details. The problem involves when certain scenes in late wolfe
should be taken metaphorically: border guards say the factories
make fertilizer, official instructs grafton on how to get rid of
the willows (which make him think of god and heaven) and the
bees (which make him think of hell) by putting plenty of
fertilizer down, planting fruit trees (symbols of a strong man
who instills fear even after his death in this story) ... how
much of a metaphorical prophecy is that? He avoids the sting of
the bees by thinking of martya’s hips sexually... seems
metaphorical. Later he speculates on the actual use of the
factories making “fertilizer”

<div>I feel an immense responsibility in getting these last few
works right as well, though the plan was to leave borrowed man
a bit open ended (thousands of pages of authoritarian tyranny
followed by, well, I guess you guys can read it how you want
... leave em smiling when you go. There’s nothing I can do
after I am done which will ever equal the importance of this.
