Col 49 Group Reading

[Mark Kohut]

..."and the room which knew"

What a clever way to say the room was spinning because she had a Kirsch-fed
half-drunk on.

Pierce's voices are from largely "darker' characters in normal
understandings..The Shadow,
that Jungian concept, appears. The Shadow is visited on the hypersensitive
Mucho....Much of,
feeling, human feeling, empathetic understanding of preterite
lives....grows more poignant on each rereading.

And Mucho does not believe....he has lost meaning in his work, where we
spend most of our days. What does it mean
to "not believe in any of it?"...being a disk jockey?......the music? the
choosing of it?      And in a short novel about
what we can believe in, this is some kind of internal thematic metaphor.

I have personally, just recently, lost a belief in some volunteer work I
was doing and the feeling is a noticeable emptiness inside.
