Second, very brief writing: \XU

First, I would like to recommend Jack Zipes's fairy tale critiques to the 
Love Hounds; in particular, FAIRY TALES AND THE ART OF SUBVERSION : THE 
CLASSICAL GENRE FOR CHILDREN AND THE PROCESS OF CIVILIZATION, New York: 
Methuen, Inc., 1988 has some very interesting ideas regarding the 
transfiguration and fusion of "classical" fairy tale elements such as one 
finds in Kate's \ X U.

I would also like to recommend one of my favorite films, THE 
NIGHT OF THE EAGLE (196?), a.k.a. BURN WITCH BURN, against which one might read \ X 
U.  The plot of the film is derived from Fritz Leiber's CONJURE WIFE 
(193?) and deals with a woman's attempts to utilize Caribbean, occult 
knowledge to protect her husband, an anthropology professor, and herself 
from the [Indo-European?] occult practices of his self-aggrandizing and 
malicious colleagues.

Again, thanks for reading.  Have to dash!
