![]() ![]() Throughout the novel there are lexicographical asides that I think support my claim, but I’m not going to go into specifics, in part because two of the three novels are sitting in my teenage room in NH while I write this in Brussels. As mentioned, names come late in the cycle, and so they flavor mostly later events (“oh, she must be feeling angry here”).Īs themes, evil and anger join a larger meta-theme: writers gotta name stuff. The naming of the thing didn’t bother me, nor did I find it necessary. To me, ‘evil’ seemed a leap from the rich humanity I thought I was reading about anger a leap more because of the unintelligibility of the narrator’s emotions. Not much changes about the narrator over the course of these interview (sometimes they’re literally interviews), but towards the end of the cycle, she starts to put names to what she’s experiencing and feeling. ![]() She talks to people, mainly people who seem to have a lot of philosophical content to share (and share generously). ![]() In the second installment ( Kudos), she makes some renovations to an apartment - also a terrible time. Plot’s not why anyone came to this party, but here’s the plot anyway: writer goes to writerly conference, talks to people and has a terrible time. ![]()
