William T Vollmann Central discussion

In the introduction to the new edition of Afghanistan Picture Show WTV mentions a lecture he gave at Deep Springs in 2002, anyone know where a transcript of that lecture could be found?

Not quite sure. From the Ohio State Archive at http://library.osu.edu/finding-aids/r... I see two items from Deep Springs ; a lecture on The Royal Family in 2001/2 (really, only an invitation for the lecture) and what appears to be a transcript of "Some Thoughts on Neglected Water traps" (date?) which was printed in the book "The Students of Deep Springs College" and republished in Expelled from Eden ;; but neither seems to be what he's talking about in the Picture Show preface.

Deep Springs is where Bill got some schoolin'. It also serves as the model for the school/society in YBARA.

A new book about Deep Springs and its founder, Nunn, with a Foreword by Bill ::
The Electric Edge of Academe: The Saga of Lucien L. Nunn and Deep Springs College ----Also probably recommended for fans of Pynchon's Against the Day (see blurb).

Also of interest, with Bill's Afterword, "Some Thoughts on Neglected Water Taps", included in Expelled from Eden ::
The Students of Deep Springs College.
