Well, maybe not mine. Yours? <br /><br />The good news is that <i>Hour of the Fox</i> is the novel's American title. Strike another off the list! <br /><br />For the record, the bibliography lists forty-one books, seventeen of which feature in the 98 endnotes. The dogged will see that many of the quotations Rohmer provides are second-hand.<br /><br />In writing this, I accidentally wrote "Rohmel". Make of that what you will.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987400789130903662.post-42838052094105586312014-06-23T17:42:06.069-04:002014-06-23T17:42:06.069-04:00Oh heavenly father.

Why?<br /><br />And while you're right -- there isn't a lot of original research in Patton's Gap, outside of the sections where Rohmer recalls flying around -- you have to give him credit for the work he repurposes: He really scrupulously doesn't bring it to life.Chris Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925214622987881225noreply@blogger.com
