Foul/Jeremiah and other musings

[tonyz]

I've always thought that this particular conversation was talking about Roger.

(Later on Foul might be talking about Jeremiah, but here he's talking to Herem about Joan, and why would Joan be concerned at all about Jeremiah?)

Still, I think the argument that Foul sees lies as beneath him is worth considering. (It doesn't exactly fit with him getting himself onto Kevin's Council, but maybe that could be explained by them being just innocent naifs who don't really know about Foul and so he tells them things that are true, but not enough to trigger warning. Come to think of it, I could see Foul laughing his heart out about that tactic.)

I guess I have to go re-read and look at the later passages. Oh, joy

Slight aside here...... anyone else noticed the 'coincidence' in Herem and Jerem (iah), J is often pronounced as 'H'?

I might add that the Sandgorgons seem to share at least some of the capacity of the Ranhym to anticipate their summons, which points to a similar time sense.

An excellent point. Excuse my late chiming-in, but I finally, finally finished reading the book!
