"This will prove even more challenging as I go on, there are no passage breaks, or conversations, just relentless prose coverage, something which Saramago uses to allegorize the apathy of blindness, of not being capable to mark where the gaps and stops are." May 10, 2016 01:27PM

Gustave Flaubert
“Language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Robert Coover
“I learned my realism from guys like Kafka.”
Robert Coover

Vladimir Nabokov
“We are absurdly accustomed to the miracle of a few written signs being able to contain immortal imagery, involutions of thought, new worlds with live people, speaking, weeping, laughing. We take it for granted so simply that in a sense, by the very act of brutish routine acceptance, we undo the work of the ages, the history of the gradual elaboration of poetical description and construction, from the treeman to Browning, from the caveman to Keats. What if we awake one day, all of us, and find ourselves utterly unable to read? I wish you to gasp not only at what you read but at the miracle of its being readable.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

James Joyce
“Life is too short to read a bad book.”
James Joyce

Roland Barthes
“Someone tells me: this kind of love is not viable. But how can you evaluate viability? Why is the viable a Good Thing? Why is it better to last than to burn?”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
