Wow, just read a few pages of ‘Notes…’…very striking imagery that plays havok with reality!
if you have not read him – each book is worth reading word-for-word – his use of language I don’t yet know how to describe.
Camouflaged as no-nonsense, the words pile up, identified,catalogued, measured. You look behind, simply to check the heap, to review. There is a horrible vacuity. There is a revealing.
