My best two days were the next, meeting you, Martin, and Howard Gardner in the morning, and spending the evening with Naomi Pierce of the Museum of Comparative Zoology and her biologist friends, and the next day talking to Martin, speaking in his institute, and attending the Society of Fellows dinner with him and Naomi. Martin is certainly dazzling, voracious, and delightfully quirky. Whether he will be able to do anything mathematical with literature I'm not sure he knows, after pumping me, but I'm happy to help if he can think of concrete mathematical ways into literature or culture more generally. The rest of the trip was mostly scenic and social except for the Consilience conference in St. Louis, where it was good to talk, albeit briefly, to Ed Wilson, and to hear especially Robert Frank, that rare beast, a deeply original economist, David Sloan Wilson, an always inspirational biologist, neuroscientist David Linden, and neurophilosopher Patricia Churchland, who gave me some good research leads. Have just spoken at the Auckland Writers Festival and made contact with a woman also speaking there, author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain, whom I'll put in touch with neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene in Paris (author of The Number Sense, which you'd enjoy, and of Reading in the Brain), since I think he'll be interested in looking with his fMRI lab, the biggest in the world, at her work on overcoming specific cognitive deficits, including some involved in reading. As with Martin, there was perhaps too great a leap between the literary level I'm interested in and what Stanislas can do so far with fMRI, but maybe Barbara Arrowsmith's work will in this case at least close some of the gap. Great to meet you, your friend Leon (?), your bevy of beauties, and Martin. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
