In Dhanmandi, Dacca's most fashionable quarter, residents are now accustomed to having groups of armed youths enter their houses in quest of money and goods. Acts of revenge against the non-Bengali minority of Biharis have subsided in the capital but have continued sporadically elsewhere; at the city of Khulna two weeks ago, a Bengali attack on the Bihari community reportedly left some 2,000 dead.

This passionate quest for Fitzgeraldiana which has become so far flung that it in this case verges on Scribneriana might baffle the sensible reader but it should be only good news for the Fitzgerald fanatic. The fanatic should overlook the fact that many of these letters are old stuff, that much...
