Writing NYC (Whitehead's Zone One)

[alice wellintown]

So, yeah, like I had like already actually read Whitehead, and actually
found that, like, um, he's actually not a bad writer, and he's like Black,
sort of, from the Bronx, and, like I can relate to like Sag Harbor, and
like to what that's actually like, and um, that Black Lady in The
Intuitionist, like the whole Oedipa but Mass Mass NYC futuristic
conspiracy, and like in Zone One, like I can hear the voice of a high
school writer, and like, if that is deliberate, and not like, some inherent
vice, to like make the book sell, it's way cool. But is it? And like, the
City, all like a cemetery, like all that figurative stuff about it being,
like some kinda Paris in Hugo's notre dame, it's like way cool, cuz W has
like this way of making images, but, like, he writes so awkward and uneven
and....you know. And so, retiring to that AGTD, that tome of terrific Tom,
I am not concerned that I maybe spend too much time re-reading it.
