literary references in QAF

[brainofjb.livejournal.com]

Hello!

As we all know there are some literary references in QAF, like Brian’s take on Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” or his quote “Had we but world enough, and time” from “To His Coy Mistress”. So I was wondering if anybody knows if all this literary references are collected somewhere? If not, can you think of anything more than the two I already mentioned? Maybe we can put together a list?

Thanks! :)

Yes, there are many, many more. And yes, I have compiled a pretty (though I'm sure not entirely) complete list of QaF's literary and musical references. I just haven't gotten around to posting it yet.

How about I promise I'll try to finally get off my ass and get it posted by the end of the month?

I hope you post it, 'cause Is love to read it. I think Ive caught most of them, but never bothered to write them down and I'm sure I've missed a few.

Sounds good. I'll try to get to it soon.

That's such a great idea. Some references I recognized myself, but as I'm not a native speaker and sure haven't read all "classics" I surely have missed most of them.
