Gravity in Mason & Dixon

[Mark Thibodeau]

Having just read Eugene Thacker's In The Dust of This Planet, which has a
section on the occult hermeneutics of oil/petroleum (as best exemplified
lately in Reza Negarestani's novel/discourse Cyclonopedia), I am very
intrigued by what you say about Emerson's thoughts on the mystical nature
of coal. Any idea where I might find that?

Also, has anyone else read In The Dust of This Planet?
