[edit] Vathek with or without it's Episodes ???

I am a little bit surprised to find no mention of the episodes which are part of the narration of the book. In fact, Beckford wanted them to be published alongside the first tale (which only constitutes one portion of the story of Vathek itself). Vathek and it's episodes is an outstanding many-voiced book (a feature typical of the gothic genre) showing, notwithstanding, real coherence, while Vathek alone is a much lesser achievement. It definitely ought to be mentionned here.
