Sprog

I've always been a bit surprised that there's no reaction from Patrick on Sprog's death in PR - have I missed it somewhere? I know Nicola feels a bit distanced from him by the whole Gondal thing , but still....anyone else found that strange?

It does seem strange. Even though Patrick's feelings towards Sprog were more along the lines of exasperated pity than anything else, you'd think he would have acknowledged it somehow.

I wonder whether it's AF showing us how deep into the Gondal he and the others, to their various extents, had got - that just as things like Christmas and clothes shopping receded in favour of the imaginary world, so did an actual death (albeit one that was more or less expected) in favour of contemplating death-or-dishonour in Gondal.

Yes, I agree - Gondal was all-consuming. But I feel it's a black mark against Patrick though. Or else it got left on the cutting-room floor?
