What We Remember

We regularly notice "moments of realization" in Poul Anderson's works. Rereading one such moment, I find that I have discussed it twice before, in 2016 and in 2014. Falkayn realizes how he can contact the ship without a radio. What I do not remember is how he does it! And I have not summarized his solution in either of the previous posts. Despite endless rereading, we, or at least I, cannot remember the twists and turns of every plot. Some posts are meant to appreciate complex narratives precisely by summarizing the details that are usually forgotten, e.g.:

Circularity In The Corridors Of Time
The Sorrow Of Odin The Goth
A Time Patrolman's Dynasty
337-344
Dakotia
