Hi Christina and List. Briefly, thanks for the Cixousreference. I would say yes, on that, definitely whatI was talking about relates to ecriture along withother sorts of noticing of intertexts. I'd be happyto share a snippet from *Atonement* but as ithappens I'm traveling & don't have the book w/ me.But luckily Google Books carries a searchableversion. If you get to that, search for "finger" w/othe quotes. Pages 35 & 36 have the passage Iwas talking about. I find it interesting becauseI think McEwan was referencing (ecritur-ing) theso called reflex arc, which relates to nervousimpulses passed from one body area to anotherwithout passing through the central nervoussystem. So that kind of parodic reference alongwith concepts of the writing self is what I wantedto convey. Thanks again and if discussion hereseems to warrant it I'll send a short quote fromMcEwan as you suggest. Best wishes, William
