The Gay Duke?
[edit]Into a page of perfectly intelligent comment on an intelligent book, an idiocy has crept. On the Duke, so shadowy a character one is hard put to call him a character, somebody writes « It is widely assumed he is gay.» As far as I recall, neither the author nor any character in the fiction suggests the least suspicion that the Duke is homosexual. I suggest the sentence is deleted. --Clifford Mill (talk) 12:46, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Awkward wording
[edit]One sentence ends: "the convention of detective fiction which satisfies the desire for a final solution." Can anyone think of a formulation that avoids this uncomfortable glance at the Shoah? ('resolution' already ends the previous sentence.) Is 'denouement' suitable?
