Ken Sparling, INTENTION IMPLICATION WIND, Pedlar Press, 2011
Intention Implication Wind by Ken SparlingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read it very slowly. Because every time I read it, it was startling. And I wanted it to continue to be startling. I didn't want to ever take it for granted. I had to read it like it was - as it was written. So it could keep on being startling. It was always being startling to me. That was quite important. It was beautiful and s Read more of this blog post »

"The Shape of a Pocket is my third John Berger book and my second of his that falls more aptly in the category of non-fiction - one gets the sense when reading Berger’s writing that there is an intentional and a useful blurring of the realised and the"

William Bennett's review
of
Shakespearean: On Life and Language in Times of Disruption:
"It’s unusual to see a book about Shakespeare on your local library’s in-house display of new and notable reads (though the American edition was published a full year after the original UK one appeared) and as a devotee of the Bard, I had to pick this"

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“Clarity is of no importance because nobody listens and nobody knows what you mean no matter what you mean, nor how clearly you mean what you mean. But if you have vitality enough of knowing enough of what you mean, somebody and sometime and sometimes a great many will have to realize that you know what you mean and so they will agree that you mean what you know, what you know you mean, which is as near as anybody can come to understanding any one.”

“Parsons was Winston’s fellow employee at the Ministry of Truth. He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms--one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the thought police, the stability of the Party depended.”

“The perception of other people and the intersubjective world is problematic only for adults. The child lives in a world which he unhesitatingly believes accessible to all around him. He has no awares of himself or of others as private subjectives, nor does he suspect that all of us, himself included, are limited to one certain point of view of the world. That is why he subjects neither his thoughts, in which he believes as they present themselves, to any sort of criticism. He has no knowledge of points of view. For him men are empty heads turned towards one single, self-evident world where everything takes place, even dreams, which are, he thinks, in his room, and even thinking, since it is not distinct from words.”
