• I think there's subtext there but the stories were mesnt to be asexual. Stories like that cant exist today brecause they would very much be gay. Bertie raves on and on about jeeves appearance and worries way too much about his valet's approval. Jeeves devotes himself to Wooster in the last book!

• It's as with 9/11, from which we will probably see little great literature -- we know too much about it already. One of he moms at work said her girls aren't forming the close friendships with other girls that she enjoyed as a child because the kids are too afraid of seeming gay.

• Um... wrong thread, r4?
