One direction for reading Hopscotch---there are, if you are not aware,
two major ways to read the novel, all the linearly-numbered chapters.
One way, the second given, is to start with Chap 73 and follow the numbering
at the end of every chapter to the next chapter to read. So, already,
right?
Chap 73: "The very fact that one asks oneself about the possible choice
vitiates and muddies up what can be chosen. *Que si, quo no, que
en esta esta *
*.....*it would seem that a choice cannot be dialectical, that the fact of
bringing it
up impoverishes it, that is to say, falsifies it, that is to say,
transforms it into
something else. How many eons between the Yin and the Yang? [love this
line--MK]
How many, perhaps, between yes and no? Everything is writing, that is to
say, a fable.
This is going to be a VERY INTERESTING NOVEL to me, I think.
