Cof L49 Whiteness

[Robin Landseadel]

Whiteness/overexposure. Whiteout:

	She could, at this stage of things, recognize signals like that, as
	the epileptic is said toan odor, color, pure piercing grace note
	announcing his seizure. Afterward it is only this signal, really
	dross, this secular announcement, and never what is revealed
	during the attack, that he remembers. Oedipa wondered
	whether, at the end of this (if it were supposed to end), she too
	might not be left with only compiled memories of clues,
	announcements, intimations, but never the central truth itself,
	which must somehow each time be too bright for her memory to
	hold; which must always blaze out, destroying its own message
	irreversibly, leaving an overexposed blank when the ordinary
	world came back.

No wonder OBA is against the day . . .
