Karmic Traces: 1993-1999

Eliot Weinberger

"Sanskrit poetics applied the theory of karmic traces to the act of reading. One responds to a poem because it speaks directly to one's experience, but that experience need not have occurred in this life." - Eliot Weinberger

I remember one transatlantic flight at 22 when I read Heart of Darkness & The Baron in the Trees in one go, and the impression of the reading experience proved stronger than any inconveniences of air travel (which of course is usually a hassle). https://t.co/r6AAkv9YPM
