Dear Meinhof,
What the fic do you mean '[sic]'?
I suppose I'd expect one of Jim's Arabic women writers
such as yourself to write about AIGAIOS but I'm just
a plain chap from the outer islands & when, for example,
I go to pick up my box of Sachertorte for the countess
it's to Vienna I post, not Wien.
Furthermore, baby, calling me a teetotaler is like calling
Sophia Loren a raddled old bitch. Ask anyone. I was
the most oedematous, brain-drilled, liver-blocked drunk
known to Davy's since you-know-who staggered home
to add yet another curlicue to Ulysses. (A book, I might add,
kept alive thanks only to academia as represented by its last
four admirers: Tim O'Connor, Professor David Norris
of Trinity College Dublin & two of his breathless little friends.
Don't mind Will Hochman's grandiose claims; he actually
gave up after page 257, finding the Dublin allusions too tricky.)
And, believe me, that's no rubber chicken. Take another look.
I think you must need your eyes examined.
Scottie B.
