okay then, I think we'll go with "The Sandman." I've given it an initial read, it is a bizarre little curiosity. I am very interested to see what Freud had to say about it. let me suggest that people read from the following link:

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/32046/32046-h/32046-h.htm#sandman

. . . there are transition points in the story that aren't clearly marked in the other link.

how's Sunday, July 9 for a discussion date?

also, now I know the inspiration for this freaky little stop-motion short I saw many years ago (I guess this qualifies as :nms:, be forewarned)

okay I gotta say there is a lot going on in this story, "The Sandman". thank you cda for selecting it! I'd call it the kind of thing that repays thought and analysis (and rereading) if you're into that kind of thing . . . but even if you're not, it's a good story, you should read it and talk about it with us on sunday!
