Dear Dan,
This is very enlightening as well as refreshing to the one who has started
this 'name' controversy.
However, you must understand that a little 'nit-picking' here and there is
necessary to get some unusual attention when otherwise it would be simply
ignored as 'some clogged brains'. Therefore, the call for a boycott.
And I think authors and film producers will pay more attention to their '
given titles' in the near future.
Cheers
floriano

Subject: [Goanet] Man Beyond the Bridge. . . .
In respect to the Man beyond the Bridge dialogue, I have my problems with
the title too, but not being a Konkani, Konkanni or Konkni speaker I beg
leave to render it (however inadequately or inappropriately) in
translation. I find all the comments tolerable enough, and
interesting---except perhaps for the point about not actually seeing the
work because of the lacuna in 'appropriate titling'. One could miss out on
a good thing with that stratagem; better try taking a peep at it anyway!
I happen to have on my shelf a vintage book---the Jonathan Cape, 1927
Volume of Revolt in the Desert, by the celebrated T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence
of Arabia). It is prefaced by the following 'Publisher's Note'.
