Josipovici is touching on a lot in these early chapters, but not in a heavy-handed way. Themes of modernism, meta-lit, the exhaustion of thought and lack of newness... One of my favorite parts so far was the second chapter in which the poor insomniac philosopher Westfield no longer is able to experience anything purely and in the moment because every feeling and thought seems narrated and fake, already adumbrated.
