Re: QUERY: ADA's "Thank Log" (fwd)
Date
Body
EDITOR's NOTE. A couple of people have now mentioned the frogs and King
Log. The suggestion would be more persuasive if it could be more firmly
linked to events in the novel.
Another random thought from the editor. The LOG=LOGOS=GOD
suggestion might tie into that logomaniac SCRABBLE game presented to Ada
& Lucette by Baron Klim Avidov (Nabokov)

>The gospel according to Johnson is entirely canonical, although given
the Russian that pervades Estotiland it may not be apocryphal to suggest
that "Log" has an undertone of Russian "Bog" (God).

Not to mention an echo of the fable of the frogs and King Log.
