What's your thoughts on this guy so far?

I like that he goes hard at the Surrealists (too political to be truly revolutionary for his liking). I also like that writes letters to lawmakers asking them to go easy on opium users. His theories on theater are interesting, but too far a departure from anything that spectators would actually want to regularly see. He disliked plays adapted from their print form as well as thinking sensical dialogue on a whole was pretty dumb.

This guy annihilates me

I just got to the Tarahumara peyote ritual: "the dancer in front passed back and forth endlessly, turning and crying unnecessarily, because he discovered his cry pleased me."
