Triumph of the Novel: Inchoative

Note: These are notes for a post on Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio's "El Jarama" ("The River")

--It's a game (virtuosity)
--prodigious recreation, imagination is seeing
--Slice of life, what's nice is it could be any slice, once twice thrice "Time flies like a river"
--Film ephemeral

--unsurpassable, hence the silence (- bah, pop-psychological humbug)

--Secondary literature in English, whywhywhy
--like, I mean, totally readable
--Digression on Alfanhui


--The Xlation - mousing a quibble
