Notes

  • Dedication: For David
  • Epigraph: If one were required to increase the dramatic seriousness of one's face in relation to the seriousness of the problems one had to confront, one would quickly petrify and become one's own statue. Vaclav Havel.
  • Epigraph: I was still suffering a good deal from nausea, but was so impressed with my wit that my drunken vanity left no room for low spitits. At this stage I began to regain power over my body; I remember moving each limb in succession, calling out in delight as I did so: 'There gose one leg. There's the other. There;s one hand. There's the other!' John Synge.
