Grid
13×13 barred grid with 180° symmetry. There are no clue numbers. Clues are presented in a single unnumbered list.
Preamble
Clues are presented in alphabetical order of their answers, which must be entered where they fit. When arranged in standard order, the initial letters of clues spell out sources for two thematic objects. The first object could be constructed so that an orderly depiction of the second object contains a relevant quotation, which must be highlighted. Solvers must deduce the author of the quotation and a thematic destination to fill the unclued entries and, finally, swap a single letter in the author's name with three letters of an overlong answer to give a thematic location. Actual construction is not required.
The Chambers Dictionary
(2011) is the primary reference.
