Old Posts: Concordances

I don’t know how to explain my penchant for making these things, which computers render mainly irrelevant, and which never turn up what I imagine they might, but I believe the fury has finally been exhausted. My most popular concordance here is Hats in Against The Day; my most extensive was PLANTS (now reduced to include just the plants of Shakespeare); and a couple I just kind of liked were Hands in Winesburg, Ohio and money in To Have and Have Not (the film.)
