GRGR (33) - The Glass Sphere

[Dave Monroe]

... reminds me, speaking of subjectivity 'n' space, anyone here familiar with Joseph
McElroy's Plus?  Talk about yr gnosticism, yr Cartesianism, yr ghost in the machine
... and speaking of women and men, anyone even get all the way through McElroy's (ca.
1200-paged) Women and Men?  I sure didn't, but I figure, if anyone, anywhere, well,
certainly, here.  Let me know if it's worth the climb ... but, getting back to that
"great glass sphere," if "There are ways for getting back," why are they "so
complicated, so at the mercy of language"?  "Houston, we have a problem"?  And "that
presence back on Earth is only temporary, and never 'real,'" more TV talk, that "great
glass" Tube, but why then "vacuum inside AND out" (emphasis added)?  Hm ...
