I followed my #35 of 578 SURF links from citations in Margaret Lynd's
"Science, Narrative, and Agency in Gravity's Rainbow" (my lynd.htm)
to discover one bright lady: Victoria N. Alexander, and ordered her
_Smoking Hopes_ from B&N, hoping for truth. But it looks like beauty.

So I let a post fly:
Heroic Alterity (=Erotic Unity) exposited
Dear Victoria Alexander,

Your cv, training, web site, Hopes, life, are amazing.

You're well primed to understand me: A 20-th C christ.

My exposition is labored, but you could understand and
fly far with it. Would you please examine my web site?

My position is that I fell upon that ontic singularity
that is christ in my youth, by an act of auto_ellation.

Surviving psychosis, I have gathered poets and prophets
whose works show form evidence of knowing this same act.

The carnal word which is myself opened the primal scene.

Become a crazed vessel holding only its own destruction,
a Klein-bottle implying, inhabiting N+1 dimension being,
I found and mined retrocausality in tantric meditations.

(sig)

BTW, I also like Pynchon and Nabokov. They're like me.

Smoking Hope is about an erotic dancer. I had to get it
to check any coincidence with my epochal Rosh HaShanah
Lamb tryst. Just like on her page 36, "Thank you for the
invitation--but not this week, some other time, perhaps,"
When I asked my dancer for a private, technical dance,
showing pix of folded women, she said "Oh, Not Tonight!"
I drove away, but the Spirit said, "Mission Accomplished."


Yours truly,
Glenn Scheper
