John John said: " Feels like the ultimate self-indulgent vanity project that winds up as a near incoherent screed.

The art feels very Mondo 2000 which is actually quite charming.

James K. Morrow
“All’s fair in love and dialectical materialism,”
James Morrow, Galapagos Regained

Colson Whitehead
“Q: Why write about slavery? Haven’t we had enough stories about slavery? Why do we need another one?

A: I could have written about upper middle class white people who feel sad sometimes, but there’s a lot of competition.”
Colson Whitehead

Lance Olsen
“For the last fifty years or so, The Novel’s demise has been broadcast on an almost weekly basis. Yet it strikes me that whatever happens, however else the geography of the imagination might modify in the future in, say, the digital ether, The Novel will continue to survive for some long time to come because it is able to investigate and cherish two things that film, music, painting, dance, architecture, drama, podcasts, cellphone exchanges, and even poetry can’t in a lush, protracted mode. The first is the intricacy and beauty of language—especially the polyphonic qualities of it to which Bakhtin first drew our attention. And the second is human consciousness. What other art form allows one to feel we are entering and inhabiting another mind for hundreds of pages and several weeks on end?”
Lance Olsen

“Glory to the logos, my friends! Long live dialectics! Let the party begin! May the verb be with you!”
Laurent Binet, The 7th Function of Language

“The point is to wake up, not to earn a Ph.D. In waking up.”
