Lines: 11 From: stever@cit-vax (Steve Rabin ) I've been reading Juan Rulfo's "Pedro Paramo", and Llosa's "Conversations in the Cathedral", extreme cases where one wants to take out the scissors and rearange chapters, or even sentences, chronologically. In fact, in the movie based on Paramo, this is precisely what the director did, using a rather large wall. In those novels the technique works. In Lord of Light it doesn't. Try reading Lord of Light with the chapters unscrambled, and I think you'll find it better that way. -Steve
