Sooo much to love about this one. I kept picking out quotes I was going to comment on and gave up. Love the way you wove in the Taylor Swift commentary—her "inelegance" as you put it does translate to me as a desperate attempt at the human (and also serves as a reminder not to over-saturate your own market with your own material. lol). Two more things: a) time to get back into Filmfarsi and b) Deleuze? Haunting me? AGAIN? *adds to goodreads list*
Anti-Oedipus has been a real revolution in thinking for me. I know I tend to over-intellectualize my feelings instead of just living them, but this kind of reading gives me a lot of clarity. I heard a line from Yeats in that podcast I sent you: "I might have thrown poor words away and been content to live."
I can't wait to listen to it!! The problem with being a writer is that we're always trying to think of ways to express things precisely through language when that often isn't the best way to ride through feelings. "Just living" is so hard when you've got a compulsion to write. Spot on :)
