I'm going to deliver a talk in about a month's time and have, for the last few days, been torn between Conrad and F. Scott Fitzgerald as possible topics. Your last post, in one if its paragraphs, linked perfectly some of my recent reading with one of my strongest literary interests. Two of the last four novels that I've read have been 'Nostromo' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', and in the next week I will be re-reading 'Heart of Darkness'. Your mention of Wittgenstein showed how I could link the two through one of my pions: linguistics. If you could give me some advice on the direction of my research (i.e. what I should read on or by Wittgenstein and any helpful essays on Conrad or Gabriel Garcia Marquez) I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks
Guy
P.S. sorry for the crudeness and brevity of this post; it seems almost disrespectful in the light of your previous effort.
