Ah, the OT, the digression. Is that a result of the HOW you're doing this? It really lends itself to a breezy conversational (that can turn to deeper mulling).

A great post, Arthur. Lots to think about here. Thank you.

Yes! I'm all about the digression - I hadn't figured that. But it's what Sebald's writing (and walks) are all about. You set out in one direction and end up somewhere so much more interesting.

And it's impossible to get from A-C, without the B piece. So the digression is necessary.
