MAY I WATCH THE SPINNING
FURIES AS THEY LAND?
On balance, I am probably the most insincere
person that ever lived, saying things just to get
a rise out of others; so as to make them think,
begin a thought-process for them, slap or
shock them into a recognition. The problem
is that it presumes a certain superiority, which
I don't really have.

Back in the 1950's William Gaddis wrote a book
called 'The Recognitions.' It was his first novel,
a '50's debut!, and it bombed. 25 years later, you
couldn't stop literate people from talking about it.
That's how it goes with those out ahead of the
curve; the stupids eventually come around to
begin eating that much-disliked grass.
'The pleasure is all mine', they say.'
