Annotation
Explores several wordplays in what Rudat claims is a linguistic-game novel. Focuses on Jordan's rabbit/conejo slip of the tongue, concluding that his arousal-induced loss of linguistic competence acts as the flaw elevating him to epic hero status. Concludes with a discussion of Maria's possible pregnancy.
