Subject: H.G. Wells, "The Moth"
Dear
List,
The
recent scientific debate on mimicry etc. reminded me of H.G. Wells's short story
"The Moth", published in 1895, which was brought to my attention by the Dutch
writer Hafid Bouazza, another VN aficionado, some years ago. As it happens,
Bouazza, as guest-editor, included this story in the latest OPTIMA (a Dutch
literary magazine appearing thrice a year), as an indirect homage to our man
VN.
Readers of VN will not fail to appreciate this
delightful story for obvious reasons.
Sincerely,
Abdellah.
The
Netherlands.
