No double halucination

[Terrance]

Is GR to the reader (the mirror turned on reading itself,
po-mo) as Doper's Greed is to Katje? 


Katje, as she has always been, is "part of the ash-colored
web." She discovers a can of film in what was a music room,
the harpsichord no one played, now disintegrating. No music,
but music is for the reader, Katje, as always, is for the
Oven. Pointy is off to London, lunch with his industrialists
again. Has he forgotten Katje? Is she free? Out of the
emptiness of "The White Visitation she finds a projector,
loads the film and watches. She recognizes the mediaeval
rooms before she recognizes her own projected image-a
white-haired girl in Pirate Prentice's Chelsea maisonette.
She is a bit surprised, when did they record this, she
thinks for a moment, ah yes, hard to remember, all those
roles, so much ash, but she remembers that it was when Osbie
Feel was processing the Amanita mushrooms. 

That would be Episode 14 (a very difficult and important
episode, one of the long spirals--- from Katje in mirrors
and film into the center, mirrored time, SW Africa,
solipsistic history, Blicero, and out of the center back to 
Katja,  Nowhere, where the secret cameraman, hidden from
her, followed her deliberate movements nowhere, she touches
the paper in the oven as if she is touching her own skin,
the oven door is closed, but not for her, for Katje the Oven
will never close. The windows, melting rain, gray, Katje,
charcoal-saturated, defined. She has posed before the mirror
too often, seen all her life in mirrors, her own studied
mannequin's stare, she feels the cameraman's pleasure and
she knows that she is corruption and ashes, "she belongs as
none can guess cruelly to the Oven
to Der Kinderofen
" 



Osbie Feel prefers certain films.  What has happened in the
world of film and finance? Ufa, erratic funding, only one
film projector, a black film
  Gerhardt von Goll, "once an
intimate and still the equal of Lang, Pabst, Lubitsch, more
lately meshed in with the affairs of any number of exile
governments, fluctuations in currencies, the establishment
and disestablishment of an astonishing network of market
operations winking on, winking off across the embattled
continent
customers fall smothered like bugs in the presence
of Flit, but von Goll still has the touch, he proclaims the
film his greatest work, Prettyplace agrees, though for
different reasons than von Goll might have given or even
from his peculiar vantage foreseen. 

 What on earth did they use that film for? Some conditioned
reflex. 

Spliced on at the end is Osbie's "Doper's Greed. The film,
with too many personalities, with Pointy and Feel and a
midget Sheriff/plot. Katje can't make it out, it could be
this or that, prophetic, kindness, so on, but again, her
Politics or lack of Politics, her Solipsistic history
betrays her, the counterforce arises Dialectically (all
Dialectics are doomed in GR), but the reader is not Katje or
the counterforce.
