Thanks for the advise. I must disagree, though, that this or <I>S than F</I> really qualify as Pirandellian (what a term!)... Although they include the fictionalized representation of <B>an</B> author, Pirandello actually wrote <B>himself</B> into the script. I know, I know. It seems a nit-picky difference-- but to me that difference makes all the difference. His choice to inject himself (though argued by many as meer egotism) magnified a main theme of Six Characters: to smear the line between art and reality. It's the difference between someone else writing you into a plot about your life and you writing yourself into one of your stories... takes the idea of questioning reality to a whole new level.<BR/>Ok, I'll pack up my literary soap box and go polish my nerd glasses.Danielle Filashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17559045917532735660noreply@blogger.com
