PUBLIC NOTES
This is buck wild: This is more like a language than any language. Know what I mean? Key point about syntax here that makes obj-c unique.

Marshalled his papers: The observer in this first paragraph is some kind of worshiper of authority, I think. He seems to enjoy the crisp order and almost militaristic method of the old judge, who is quite stock as literary figures go, but who appears strikingly in the imagination of this narrator.

Populist verdict on this?: What do people think? Should people be allowed to watch it on another type of device or in another format? Operate on the assumption that it's still only watched once, and deleted after that viewing.

Discomforting but true: "The world is full of shit and gasoline" -- something we might not like to admit.

Narrator triumphs over cynicism: This narrator is willing to stake money against cynicism, and he's right--I like that.

Tension in this: I have always been impressed by this paragraph, short as it is, in its context. It truly endows the coals with a life of their own, as ominous and beastly in a way as the cat with her flashing eyes.

nice: i like this, especially about the perception of time as it bears on a writer
Morpheus

a vessel of knowledge: yeah, cool idea. send human history and meaning of man's existence in a soul itself.
Morpheus

yes, probably: like using a 300 baud modem maybe
Morpheus

line six: line six gets in the way of what five and seven are doing together. the judgment is again the rational impulse that goes against this character's motivation. the judgment is better implied, since it then becomes implicit in disregard, not a battle he picks right now.

voice slips?: "could have killed them" is maybe out of voice here. not sure.

forthcoming: i tend to be less interested in narrators who put forth the logical too quickly. what follows this is so much more interesting than the narrators ability to remark upon the possibilities.
Morpheus

speed of thought: like the "speed of thought is a constant" a lot, but think the line immediately following detracts from it.

nice: i like this line coming here, after almost losing me in orbit
Morpheus
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
fallout: happened from fallout? or the moon was destroyed into rubble that continues to orbit. that's a cool idea. but i'm not sure that's what you mean.
Morpheus
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
suspect: "i suspect" seems to throw the rhythm off here. perhaps the breaks are wrong? also the line "a mind cannot trust itself" is maybe a re-wording of the familiar "looks can be deceiving," but not sure it's a worthy rewording...
Morpheus
Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Morpheus

nice line: don't know how you pulled it off w/out punctuation, but you did

lem: reminiscent of the "chain of chance" intro
Morpheus

We need a verse mode button: What do you think of that? Just click it to switch to verse mode, and it turns the indentation off?

A nice innately cranky Noirish walk through a crowd: I like the grumbling loner feel that seems to be one of the prime appeals of noir.

First sentence reminds me of the old joke where the guy says Call Me a Cab, willya?: Okay, you're a music hall

Deep Wells of Optimism: Pangloss never tires of the bright side. You might say he's blinded by it: "Pangloss explained to him how everything was so constituted that it could not be better."

Thoughts on this translation: I have read versions that specify he was transformed into a giant cockroach. This uses a more general approach. What's the original word? Which do you think is more accurate?

Point of view here: The last sentence makes me wonder from whose perspective the 'hopeless stupidity' is being perceived--is that how he sees himself? Or is this more authorial than that?

Canary: If I'm not mistaken, people those days kept the canaries around as a kind of precursor to CO2 detectors. If the canary dropped dead, there wasn't enough oxygen in the room.

Uncle Charles: When I was in school, James Hurt referred to the "Uncle Charles Technique" which referred to Joyce's appropriation of a character's own glossary or lexicon. Joyce really knew how to push the third person in new directions.
