V is also for Van Veen of course: something very similar going on in “Ada”, I feel. The dorophones and demons of Estoty… (but is “Ada” literary fiction, or is it alternate-world sci-Fi/fantasy? Is that even a useful distinction?)

I had a French teacher, a Dr Beard, who sang the praises of “I Will Piss On Your Graves,” or at any rate mentioned it: 16-yo me just remembered the title. Vian sounds properly amazing though, and even just reading this essay has got me excited/energised for the project I’ve been putting off editing for a while now… so, thank you!
