After reading a biography of White, I checked out Forgetting Elena from the U-M library, which I somehow hadn’t read. So enraptured by the first few pages, I (atypically) missed my bus stop. This has happened in my reading history only once before — in the early 1990s, when I was about to give a lecture on the four musical versions of Pelleas et Melisande (Faure’s, Debussy’s, Schonberg’s, and Sibelius’), Thus, I thought it incumbent to read the Maeterlinck. I locked myself out of my car! You are duly honored.
