In General, Each Form Is A Relief

I Am In Boston Right Now, In Fact, To Do Work At The New England Historical Genealogical Library, Where I'm Trying To Finish Up Tracing My Lineage Back To The Seventeenth Century.

In General, Each Form Is A Relief From The Other Forms. I Can't Write A Novel After A Novel. I Just Use Up All The Material Each Time, And I Need To Rest.

People Tend To Be Scared Of What They Can't See.

I'm Trying To Read More Dead People Because I Keep Having To Read Stuff For Juries And So Forth.

Cool Is Spent. Cool Is Empty. Cool Is Ex Post Facto. When Advertisers And Pundits Hoard A Word, You Know It's Time To Retire From It. To Move On. I Want To Suggest, Therefore, That We Begin To Avoid Cool Now. Cool Is A Trick To Get You To Buy Garments Made By Sweatshop Laborers In Third World Countries. Cool Is The Triumph Of The Will. Cool Enables You To Step Over Bodies. Cool Enables You To Look The Other Way. Cool Makes You Functional, Eager For Routine Distraction, Passive, Doped, Stupid.
