The WreckIgnitions Read. Copying from Janos'

[Mark Kohut]

Janos,

thanx...interesting as a tragicomic nightmare.........

Mark

A--And there is this in that piece: "describes, in the meandering, repetitive 
totalitarian-ese employed by Kim throughout his oeuvre"
 
Spun, like an amateur forger, into today''s thematic obsession: The Narrator
 
Gaddis loves repetition....the fake that I am, I cheatedly saw a reference at 
Amazon to a whole scholarly book on Gaddis exploring his use of repetition, 
about which I will soon bloviate more, but for now,
 
An omniscient narrator IS kinda totalitarian, yes? EVERYTHING in the book is 
what he ..demands, right? 

See Sartre on omniscient narration from earlier post..........
