The Original Exorcist plot thickens

Here’s an interesting email from Norman which just arrived in my inbox, referring to the ˜Just who was the original Exorcist‘ from a few days ago:

Several years ago I heard Blatty lecture at Georgretown and, in rpeosnse to my quesiton about if Karras was the main character of the book, he said “Karras is the Exorcist.

Could it really be?  From Mr. Blatty himself?  That creates an interesting twist!  What do you all think?  Is Karras The Exorcist, or Merrin?
