worse than ever. i remember you, jenwren. but not well. but when i saw your handle it made me think of someone who at least i believe once posted on sorabji. it was a teenage girl, as i remember. the one thing i remember was that she claimed to be working on a book called "the book of clam." like the story of a mollusk told like a book from the bible. it probably wasn't you. and when i did a search for it, nothing came up. but i swear i remember it. it was just something that captured my imagination. i once read a short story told from the perspective of a tapeworm as a religious/philosophical work. i've never been able to find that, either. perhaps i'm mad.
