Subject: Tarentine sail and Tarentus
PS:
Van´s legs are indeed like a "tarentine sail" in ADA whereas in the lecture on Joyce VN describes how S. Dedalus quizzes his students about Tarentus ( and a Pyrrhean victory...)
This is no coincidence.
It seems that VN is teaching us then how we should now read his own future novel, ADA, with all its intra and intertextual references and synchronic images!
I have to read ADA all over again, always a very exciting prospect.
Or retrospect, if I remember well Professor Pnin´s own lectures...
