Right on the head description of the yogas (the renunciation of the world
thing is part of the reason I saw the deaf mute as being a yogi figure of
sorts -- detachment from and indifference to his surroundings).
And a very nice description of Buddy's growth. Good thesis in that regard --
you've convinced me to like Alsen more. But I think the problem with this
kind of interpretation is that its more valid with some parts of the Glass
canon than with others. I think it works well with RHTRBC, and what he says
about Hapworth is probably right on too, but it sounds contrived when applied
to Franny. You could say that he was still in "story mode" at that point,
but that would mean we would have to focus our attention away from Buddy in
Fand Z and onto the characters...
