More About The Book Of Flights; An Adventure Story

All words are possible, then, all names. They rain down, all these words, they disintegrate into a powdery avalanche. Belched from the volcano's mouth, they spurt in to the sky, then fall again. In the quivering air, like gelatine, the sounds trace their bubble paths. Can you imagine that? Jean-Marie G. Le Clzio, The Book of Flights // There is no such thing as self-awareness. Imagine thought retreating into itself to think about itself. It would be easier to imagine a revolver bullet extracting itself from its victim's wound and re-entering the barrel. Yes, it would be easier to imagine the universe's explosion suddenly halting its outflow of energy, so that the galaxies congeal once more, and the millions of light-years of their flight through space are immediately annulled. Jean-Marie G. Le Clzio, The Book of Flights // Looking at the sky, he suddenly saw that it had become black. Then white again, but with great rippling circles. The circles were vultures wheeling around the sun. The vultures disappeared, to be replaced by checkers squares ready to be played on. On the board, the pieces moved around incredibly rapidly, winning dozens of games every minute. They were scarcely lined up before they started rushing at each other again, banging into each other, forming fighting combinations, wiping the other side out in the wink of an eye. Then the squares scattered, giving...

This is not a novel, it is a catalogue of powerful words about the claustrophobia of everyday life and the varied paths of escape. I was drawn in by the poetic descriptions but frequently lost track of where I had come from and often wasn't even sure about where I had arrived. It was an interesting journey. I sipped from this book over a 5-year period, a few pages here, 50 pages there, and recently finished it. Sad it's over. Seeing the world through Hogan/JMG's eyes has changed the way that I see the world, and hearing his thoughts have made help me to articulate my own. this guy is really good at making mundane normal things or actions seem really strange and nighmarish
