Dear Don,
I did not see the mail below either on N-L or Zembla. Just in case, I am
resending it. Sorry, if you are going to run it. I know it is not 24 hours
yet since I posted. I am leaving for Kyoto to attend the fall meeting of the
NSJ.
Have a nice weekend!
Best,
Akiko

Dear Peter Washburn and All,
I am grateful to Peter Washburn for correcting my error. Yes, the gentleman
talks about an article he read in a recently issued Transatlantic and we do
not know the detail of the magazine HP left eight years ago. I thought there
were two magazines, but took "Hugh's Transatlantic" as the old one HP left
there. We translated "H's T" as "T under Hugh's hand" and did not forget
"borrowing it for a moment" either (Japanese readers, you do not have to
worry!). But that seems to have slipped from me somewhere. I am sorry.
The article sounds like about HP himself, but it also includes something
confusing. We have not heard that HP was good at what "he taught the
cellmates." He may have been, but at least he was not a pastry cook "by
trade" (perhaps it alludes to Pere Igor/Goriot).
Best wishes,
Akiko

Editor,
96 17-18. It seems that there are two magazines here. The Swiss
gentleman
is reading the magazine that Hugh left 8 years ago. We don't know what
its
title is. Hugh picks up the Transatlantic ( which the Swiss gentleman
had
presumably just read, and upon which he had his elbow) which is described
as
among "fairly recent periodicals" and it is that magazine which has an
article
referring to "a man who murdered his spouse eight years ago." A kind
of
parallel magazines: one old, which Hugh had left behind; the other
recent,
containing an article about Hugh from the time of the first magazine. I
think
it
is deliberate that we might confuse the two. It makes me think of the
phenomenon where memory can conflate two separate incidents and turn them
into
a
"false" single incident.
