>>>So the first question is, who are you talking/complaining/er,
bitching to/about/at here?<<<
Me, you, anybody, everybody. Nice to see your dander up. When I read TRP I
sense something I can't put into words. When I hosted MDMD(20) the whole
experience of studying those texts closely put me into a very strange state
of consciousness. Putting that experience into words trivializes the
experience. Now, anyway. Several people who were around that week were drawn
into the experience also. When I read Nabokov, and he talked about novelist
as enchanter that made sense to me. Nabokov does the same thing to me
Pynchon does. Tin Drum and Moby Dick did it. Beckett does it. It is
powerful. It makes life worth living. Pynchon himself says no one is
listening. I agree.
