Thanks for reminding me of the superb millefeuille (great word!) jokes of S and Y. I’ve always thought the closest thing to their what’s-really-in-your-head treatment of history in ‘serious’ literature is Finnegans Wake. Joyce would appreciate the lateral moves involved in a joke like ‘Lady Windermere’.

You are such a good writer. And so much fun to read.
Thank-you - that's lovely. (Although tbh, this time I think most of the heavy lifting was done by S. and Y….)
Time to dig out my copy.
Excellent news - and thanks for the restack, always appreciated…
So witty and clever, thanks, WTRI!
