Mr Visel–
Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful overview of *Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders.* As many have noted, you’re doing an interesting blog, here. Yes, Guy Davenport is a favorite writer, so I’m not surprised (and am pleased!) you notice bits and pieces of him throughout. We had a brief correspondence back in the last century’s ’80s and 90’s.
–Best wishes to you,
Chip Delany
