A Novel Novel?

The noun “novel” refers in its most general sense to a fictional narrative of extended length. The adjective “novel” refers to something that is new in an unusual or interesting way. Both the noun and adjective have the same Latin parent novus, meaning “new,” and the same Indo-European root, newo-, meaning “new” and “now.” So, what we have in Fex & Coo is a “new new.” Such an idea is certainly worthy of an extended disputation by Owl Man and Heron Man over a leisurely jigger (or more) of Macallans. Until such is forthcoming, I will simply stay with the claim that Fex & Coo is a new new, leaving room, of course, for the unknown unknown, as well as the post post. For now, nuff said.
