I did, David.
On a somewhat related note, at her reading at the university last
week, Karen Connolly read from a non-fiction work about Burma, & a
love affair there among other things; after which one of my still
teaching colleagues mentioned that he was now being asked to carry a
release form whenever he might 'use' someone else's speech (even, say,
overhearing people talking at the next table in a restaurant: you can
imagine). He gave us the term: 'ethics creep,' which can be read so
many ways. Made me glad I was outside that institution now: whither
imagination?
