"Finished part 2. The dialogue between Kubi Takeo and Mrs Tsuda was the highlight for me. Compared to the first part, the tone feels a bit more ironic and comical. When I think about the clock with the Chinese zodiac on it in part 1, time seems to be something important in this novel. The descriptions seem to focus on the minutiae of particular moments that it feels like time in here is operating at microscopic scale." — 12 hours, 32 min ago

"Up to ch2 - the way Muñoz takes up Derrida's hauntology reminds me of Mark Fisher, but I have yet to really read the latter in detail to understand the difference in the approaches here. Also reminds me of Harry Harootunian's rereading of Marx to think the relationship between past/present/future differently" — Aug 06, 2025 06:51AM

“The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his day.”

“Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.”
