Evan Pincus's review
of
Spinal Catastrophism: A Secret History:
"You can actually prepend "crypto" and "meta" to just about any noun if you want to. You can also engage in ludicrous 'pataphysical slant readings of any discipline you'd like and wrestle with philosophical theory, bending it until it breaks, to serve"

“How can the disease be cured of itself?' you asked them. 'My body — a tumor that was once delivered from the body of another tumor, a lump of disease that is always boiling with its own disease.
