Quote:Is your knicker fetish to do with your Nanny?
When Mr Budgen was writing his wonderful book James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses Joyce urged him to treat ' Le Manteau de Tanit,' that is, female drawers ' with IMMENSE seriousness, respect, circumspection, historical sense, critical acumen, documentary accuracy, citational erudition and sweet reasonableness.
This information is contained in a note in the XXVI chapter of Richard Ellmann's famous biography of the nutter.
It is on a page which describes Joyce having a pair of minature drawers (he hated "panties") into which he inserted two fingers and walked them towards a homosexual poet who was scandalised by the trick.
I presume that Tanit is a reference to the zaimph in Flaubert's sensational novel Salammbo.
Really it is a laughter fetish I have I'm afraid.
