Moi presenterar i essäform sin idé/teori om en ny litteratur/etik post postmodernism och post postkolonialism som överbryggar gränser genom seendet, blicken: “Projektet - handlingsplanen - går ut på att agitera för värdet av att rikta en rättfärdig och kärleksfull blick mot verkligheten och att hitta ett språk för att uttrycka det som denna blick ser.”Ambitionen berömsvärd, texten intressant, idén kanske något utopisk och eventuellt etiskt problematisk.

Virkelig full av gode innsikter om språket jeg alltid har tatt for gitt og sjeldent viet kuriositeten og oppmerksomheten som jeg nå forstår det fortjener. Moi lykkes i å grave frem et nytt lag av virkeligheten for meg - men jeg må nok lese dette essayet noen ganger til før jeg bedre kan forstå hva denne nye innsikten egentlig innebærer.

ungefär halva innehållet återfinns i kapitel tolv av revolution of the ordinary, men för den som inte läst den är det en utmärkt essä att börja med!!

”…den bästa litteraturen: den lär oss att se.” ”…den hjälper oss att se världen klarare än förr…” ”Att arbeta med språket är att öva sig i att se klarare…”, ”De bästa författarna har förmågan att visa oss något nytt…på så vis hjälper de oss att ta ett fastare grepp om verkligheten”
