[lara!]

i have literally no idea what i just read, but go the red herring i suppose?

it’s important that I let you all know that I was on an insane amount of stimulants when I read this which is definitely the only reason why the absurdity made perfect sense to me

so odd, bizarre, hilarious, but very interesting - to just watch an author play with, turn over, be fascinated by an image, what it can do for them linguistically, metaphorically, visually, narratively. There is the wordsmith having fun, confounding his reader, but also an anxious writer considering the commodification of words, print, and what it means to give over his work to a market, and a whole audience of hungry readers who will chew over his read herrings and transform them!
