Thanks! It's a work in progress. I am a doctoral candidate at
the University of South Florida. I hope to finish this year.
Then, perhaps you will eventually find my dissertation
published in book form at a university press near you! At
least I hope so. It'd make tenure a lot easier....
I don't think that the story reference is to
Maupassant; William Marling suggests that it's more likely a
reference to Somerset Maugham's "Mr. Know-all." If you've
never read Marling, I think he's perhaps the best literary
critic of the genre.
