>-- The Garden of Forking Paths --<: Buras on Yaffe

Log In

"Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

Just a quick FYI.

Todd Buras (Baylor) has a review of Gideon Yaffe's recent book, Manifest Acitivity, on his website. Have a look!
