Continuing to read The Ground Beneath Her Feet.

Chap. 9 Membrane       no quotations

Chap. 10 Season of the Witch

Quotations:

  • "... Kansas-as-metaphor, flat, empty, uncool." [p, 283]  Lethbridge?
  • "Talk radio's over, she says. Dialogue's dead. This is stunning information. In five words the neo-Kantian, Bakhtinian definition of human nature - that we change each other constantly through dialogue, through intersubjectivity, the creative interplay of our several incompletenesses - is laid to rest. The essentially Apollonian universe of communicataion shrivels beneath the contemptuous force of She's Dionysiac post-verbalism." [p. 284]
  • "Ormus Cama is being given a great gift. Words are being said which will oblige him to face the issue of himself." [p. 302]
  • "The solutions to the problems of art are always technical. Meaning is technical. So is heart." [p. 303] WOW!
