Ooo. Novel with index. I didn't know about that one. In library school I wrote a paper on novels with indexes. It's not very good but still available online, the last link on this page: http://www.madinkbeard.com/library/
The paper reminds me that I ought to read Harry Mathews. This 'novel' of sorts (also in pdf) also has an index: http://www.underneaththebunker.com/Page52.pdf

ReplyDeleteNice, thanks for pointing out your paper Derik.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try my hand at indexing a work of fiction. Maybe Jakob von Gunten, since I can get some tips from Helen Mirra!

I am reminded of Pliny.

Wow, ctorre -- keep leaving comments, please.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to read Pliny immediately:
"Showers of milk, blood, flesh, iron, wool, bricks. Portents. Stones falling from the sky - Anaxagoras as to."
Georgy, your sites are incredible, keep it up!
Derik, thanks for the index paper. My index shopping list is almost complete.
I didn't mean to spur on any further book purchasing gluttony! Some of those books in my paper are not very good to actually, you know, read.
