Duchamp's notion of using shadows as indecixal signs (rather than icons of the objects that themselves cast the shadow) has got me to thinking if I can use that idea in a literary work, composing it completely of shadow impressions, rather than concrete images.
While I might not agree with all the theoretical hubub of modern art and its critics, I'm glad I have been able to steal some ideas from them!

The roundtable discussion at the end of the book is somewhere between an academic Four Yorkshiremen sketch and the politico-intellectual palavering of the Holy Grails repressed peasants. So tiresome . . .

The year is now 1992. I was in college at that time, studying math and physics then. The next year, I did a complete turnaround and changed to working on my Bachelor's in Humanities (History Emphasis) and a minor in Anthropology. Ironically, from 1993 until 2000, I had a keen interest and a fair amount of formal study regarding art. Ironically, it was all art of the past, so I probably missed everything here.
