It's a wonderful feeling when your own intuition has not only been shared by another, but that other has also unpacked and applied it in detail, to history and to the present moment (as present as 1995 can be). Go Porter, go!

Slightly embarrassed to be reading this, but got pulled in while flipping through as I was about to toss it.

If nothing else, this book presents some interesting sources that I'd like to take a look at myself. I'm not exactly trusting Gatto as a researcher.

You know a book has you in its grasp when its concepts appear in your dreams.

Excellent prose in this explication of the "cultured" person... My first Powys. If the first 12 pages are any indication of his powers in fiction, it won't be my last.

An Elemental Thing

Alex is on page 566 of 976 of The Recognitions
“Science assures is that it is getting nearer to the solution of life, what life is (“the ultimate mystery”), and offers anonymously promulgated submicroscopic chemistry in eager substantiation. But no one has even begun to explain what happened at the dirt track in Langhorne, Pennsylvania about twenty-five years ago, when Jimmy Concannon’s car threw a wheel, and in a crowd of eleven thousand it killed his mother.”
