Because I think it underpins much of Hyde's book, and it might be hard going if you haven't digested that book already.
Anyway, I'm very interested to here your thoughts on Hyde....I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

Crime And Punishment
I've been putting this off for like 15 years. And now I remember why. Damn this book is dense. Only Dostoyevsky can take 15 pages to describe a walk down the block.
I am hoping my endurance holds up, not the kind of reading im use to.

author that would be so bright-eyed/ crazy and subtle and the
same time..., language and constructions are so incredible. i like
quite a lot his quasi reportage from the south america, called "rum".
it has the same kind of bravery of overtaking the world, still being
super sensitive and somehow lost.
i've been reading john barth's "the end of the way",
quite good one though.LOUPEON — archival fashion project.
Web store focused on collectible garments from avant-garde European designers.
