NOT PYNCHON. NOT, I SAY....

[Mark Kohut]

>From John Banville's review of Antonio Damaso's The Strange Order of Things
which comes to rest on *feeling *uber alles. Not the rational mind.

"In support of his claim, he adduces the various ways in which bacteria
behave that bear a striking resemblance to human social organisation. The
implication is, then, that “the human unconscious literally goes back to
early life-forms, deeper and further than Freud or Jung ever dreamed of”.
Damasio’s argument is that we are directly descended not only from the
apes, but from the earliest wrigglers at the bottom of the primordial rock
pool."
Discuss, if you feel like it.
