2 observations about Episode 10: Wandering Rocks.
- parallel narratives from shifting perspectives / differing points of view / characters. All over modern fiction. So lovely to see and acknowledge the roots of such.

Quote: “We call it D. B. C. because they have damn bad cakes.” [p. 245]

The Temple Bar reference on page 233 reminded me of my visits to Dublin when I was studying abroad.

Another rumination on Shakespeare:
“Shakespeare is the happy hunting ground of all minds that have lost their balance.” (248)

H: –”I am sure he has an idée fixe…”
