What people are saying
writer and translator with an interest in myth, memory, the (absent) body, linguistic consciousness, narrative deferral, and the philosophy of autoimmunity
“Reading is the gesture of the body (for of course one reads with one's body) which by one and the same movement posits and perverts its order: an interior supplement of perversion.” —The Rustle of Language, Roland Barthes; tr. Richard Howard.
Beauty and contemplation, critical thinking. I share some of what I read, hear, see and do. Unpublished novelist, amateur photographer. Travel too much. PhD.
"I crave, I long for Abstinence from Images, for every image is bad." ― Roland Barthes, “The Image”, in The Rustle of Language #Literature
