Dear List,
Someone asked how the triangular depression in
a woman´s neck ( Ada´s ) was named. In his book "The English Patient" Ondaatje
wrote:
" He pointed his thick finger to the spot
by his Adam´s apple and said, 'This is called the vascular
sinozood'."
Since VN always referrred to various images and
ideas in a condensed way ( "overdetermination" was the word used by Freud when
this occurred during dream-work) I realized that the absence of a protuberating
"Adam´s apple" ( The garden of Eden in Ardis,etc) in Ada could also be
significant.
