Greetings all, once again
Having just told you all that there's no paper this Monday Ben Blumsen
emailed me keen to give one, and since Ben is not here everyday this
is a recantation of the previous mail. Thus Ben will be giving
tomorrow's current projects paper, usual place, 1.00-2.30.
"Never-Ending Story"
Abstract:
Take a strip of paper with ‘once upon a time there’ written on one
side and ‘was a story that began’ on the other. Twisting the paper and
joining the ends produces John Barth’s story Frame-Tale, which
prefixes ‘once upon a time there was a story that began’ to itself. A
theory of meaning in English should explain the possibility of
understanding Frame-Tale. But standard theories cannot.
See those of you who are here, there.
