thanks syzyie.
reminds me that i didn't finish the last one. think i'd solved 80/90 % of the clues but hadn't worked out where to shove the answers.
i'll dig it out again.

Thanks, syzzie. I thought the across clues were utterly brilliant.

Glad you all liked it, as did I.

The Down clues were easy, to help with the placement, though 1D had me stumped for a while.
If I remember correctly, C & R did a similar puzzle for The Atlantic where both the Across and Down clues comprised a story which had to be broken down into clues that ranged across sentences. Beautiful work, and fun to solve.

Keep an eye out for Harper's. It should be here this week, Tuesday or Saturday.

Happy puzzling!

Thanks yet again syzygy, a superb puzzle. The format of the across clues really clever and well written, especially those that traversed sentences/paragraphs. Loved it.
