IVing IV 'indict a bean burrito', p. 277

[alice wellintown]

I does tax the reader, all this indeterminacy and ambiguity. The
ambiguity is fun because it invites lots of connections and readings,
but a close reading of the text, a new critical reading, doesn't hold
blood. It's just a his and her story of tangled lines. And, since we
follow the clews through a burned out mind, who forgets, gets caught
in his own smoke screens and fog, it's not possible to construct a
meaningful plot or traditional reading or characters and their
motivations. That the text only calls attention to itself and that it
is not such an attractive beauty has been tabled so that we may
proceed with the set-piece parody analysis; how the text means not
what, since its meaning can not be determined. Over- determining it?
Yeah, that too.
