Reviews

[Glenn Frantz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Self-defeating paradoxes speak for themselves, while other points are formulated less as statements than as non-statements of their negations, exceptions to exceptions, and self-referencing conditionals, thus implicitly encompassing all the dangling threads of universe and mind that would normally be left on the cutting-room floor when assembling a blooper reel... This spiraling mode of thought is infectious.
