Started this in the summer of 2024 during our Socratic seminar retreat, but left unfinished until I completed Infinite Jest. On my list of shame...for I should have read this a long time ago. Indeed, I actually (in theory) even taught a class that included the entire Comedy as a part of the syllabus back in 2004 or 5.
