Thanks, RSE.

It was RSE who got me interested in the works of James Branch Cabell. Many of his novels seem to have a similar cyclical structure, and certain plot devices are used again: presumably JBC wanted to refine them. The writing style is wonderful; with a great sense of irony, and a feeling for mythology.
