What is the Greek connexion? Isn't Lazarou a Greek genitive? Where does he live? It's always dark when I'm there and the shutters are closed - shutters? - why shutters? Suggests intense sunshine - or snow? Where is this man's partner? OK it IS nightime but É (Does nightime have two Ts?). He often mentions Greek things when he's talking online with that insomniac vampire in San Francisco. MM is it - yes MM - queer as a four dollar bill indeed - but he does have a full set OED so no fool anyway. But who is the guy in Brighton? Does he matter or is he just "local colour"?
How did he get my typewriter? Why? Does he know about Flann's theory? Was it green when I had it? This notebook/place is all questions and precious few answers. How can this be the basis for a new work? What is his interest in or connexion with N.A. Native Americans? Using Tecumseh as his avatar. And an online friend who's Native American - a Lakota. His online life seems to be some kind of lifeline as well as his key research resource.
Did I hear dogs barking? How to get into those Chinese boxes - I must know what he has in mind for his plot. Does he sense me there? Significance of Dave - who is he and why is he very lucky? Dick says he is a black and white guy but how to find out - is it relevant? Has he published? - check!
Why nothing from the Jill woman? Did she get the email? And Finn has been quiet - why? Notebook? Question book more like.
