TRP Themes

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Aaron Yeater writes:

 " but inevitably, the breakdown 

of 'macro' order, in which individuals are merely pawns in the 

system, gives way to solipsism, (which i think is the final state of 

Slothrop) in which there is no "They" of any kind, only one mind, 

imagining the world--the transition between these two poles, of 

conspiracy (where the subjective voice isn't a reality, but a product 

of systemic manipulation)) vs. paranoia (where the subjective voice 

is the only reality) is where the action is in TRP, and he is 

unwilling or unable to commit to either as "true states of 

being"...



Aaron-

Wouldn't one emphasize "unable" to commit to conspiracy or paranoia only 
because, as you say, the poles are constantly being exchanged for each 
other, blurring if you will these poles?  (don't know if I'm phrasing 
this properly).  And is this melting stage or point  true solipsism ?



Another broader question:  Any ideas why would TRP not accept that Mr. 
Howell award in 1975 for GR?
