16 It should also be said that Tristan’s Shadow suffers from remarkably poor copy editing. ‘Tragaldalbas’ and ‘Der geborgte Ehemann’ are given separate index entries. The claim, ‘As chapter 6 showed, operatic phantasmagoria depended on a particular operatic erotics’, surely refers to chapter 4 (‘Erotic Acoustics’) (190). Sentences at times seem to be missing words, leaving one to puzzle over proposals like, ‘But, in keeping with his divine attribute of fire, Loge is accurate messaging that can take place in signification (the subject of hermeneutics), but instead everything to do with the deception and distortion that can plague the signifying process’ (170).
