5:16 PM - we live in lies and expect lies
Current mood: dichotymous
it's been hard to remain focused lately. when i can't stay still long enough to read the several books that i've started i find refuge in graphic novels ('aren't those comics?' yes yes shutup). last night i finished two worthy 'reads': City of Glass by Paul Auster and Abel by William Harms and Mark Bloodworth. there is an afterword in the latter which probably put me in this cynical mood. the whole story is built upon lies which produce more lies - each seeming more necessary than the last.
i hate running out of library time.
new york was a labyrinth of endless steps,
and no matter how far he walked, it always left him
with the feeling of being lost
each time he took a walk, he felt he was leaving himself behind
by giving himself up to the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye
he was able to escape thinking.
all places became equal, and on his best walks,
he was able to feel that he was nowhere.
this was all he ever asked of things:
to be nowhere. - from City of Glass
how do you quote a comic? trying to relate the visual would be useless.
