Spent some time tonight making my way through this:
Nothing more than a link blog, nowadays, my site. But… were I to venture a read on this, I guess I’d say something like the graphic novel – especially a free, on-line one – seems to me a medium especially attuned to the current state of affairs. To impute the depth of more insistently discursive forms (a la the not-so-graphic novel) is automatically to generate alibis, libelous overestimations of the way things are. * This problem is encountered, as well, in works like Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, where the very effort to give the story shape is itself a mystification, and Conrad (as well as Marlow, to a certain, distracted degree) knows it… But this is underfed, and so, no, just a link blog tonite…
* The blog is one of the rare forms that match the graphic novel in its highly attuned depthlessness…
