Thanks Wayne for listing long lost names. Coke & Zane. Zane
divorced, yes. In her case, her psychological particularity, being
herself I mean, and her odd name, Zane, seemed to me ever in a
kind of antagonism: the oddness of her name seemed always on
the point of overcoming the saliency of her psychological selfhood.
Was she more Zane or more herself apart from the name?

They say, rightly, that the past is another country.
