V--2nd, Chapter 11 p.324 A room is all that is the case

[Mark Kohut]

"It takes no more than a desk and writing supplies to turn any room into a 
confessional."

So, what is he confessing? is this another Henry Adams-like autobiographical 
confession by one 
Fausto?

Fausto.....gonna get to the actual Faust allusion soon, meanwhile,,,,,

The room is inert. p. 325 "The facts call up emotional responses, which no inert 
room has ever showed us."

Unlike that lived-in, loved-in room in CofL49 which "knew"...

An inanimate room, so to allude?...If this is an extended portrait of a writer 
metaphor, then the writer
inhabits a carpetless, unadorned room.....death-like to write??

Anyone want to gloss the way it is described via all those coordinate 
directions?
