"exhausted by Mark Z Danielewski's dense and overly-complicated tome"

[Chris Broderick]

Robot Veg sez:

This sounds a lot like Mosley's _Accident_, wherein
the atmosphere gives out that something nasty
happened, but
ultimately, there's no there there.

So I say:

I certainly don't think that the Tristero is an empty
signifier (I wouldn't have tattooed it to myself if I
thought that was the case...), just one that can't be
pinned down, that contains its opposite.  There may a
there there, it's just hard to see where there is, or
even how many theres (if any, true!) there may be
there.  

"Either Oedipa in the orbiting ecstasy of a true
paranoia, or a real Tristero," among other things.

-Chris
