Buy until experience is verbalized or otherwise
translated into "text", the world is not text, it's a
fiction that's useful for criticism, but it doesn't
get you very far in experiencing the world as it
exists -- it's a crippling metaphor, one that removes
the subject from experience, which mediates experience
as text, a pale imitation.
