A reread. Reread? A false supposition. A friend like me doesn’t. Too many more books to read. She didn’t want to waste the time. Her husband rereads often with greater interest. An initial reread of McDowell’s, Island People, shows rereading not as an experience of furthering an elder experience but is a new experience. My placid and dull associations of reread loses "to read" anew as a fresh new verb.

I will get there. It's not a matter of pages. It's the swelter and blood loss.

The island does not house a man coming apart but attempting to come together. What he possessed to work with consisted of dislocated parts, nothing shimmed, mitered, or key-holed to fit. A jigsawed puzzle boxed with pieces from different puzzles. Memories almost remembered but not recalled as his own. As Dr. Frankenstein, his labor was of assemblage.

What if all the books on his shelves are not written by people who went out into the world, condensing and expressing their experience but only commenting on each other?

One dream was simultaneous narration and experience, picked up on at some later point in the story, or life, so that for its duration I was writing itself; I was language. Do you know the terror of that.

"...from the words other substance grows, the substance called ideas-ideas breeding ideas-and ideas can, must take other shape. And so they have done: it looks as pure and irreversible as evolution."

This book is taking me quite a long time to read. Yet I am never aware, being so drawn in to its web of intricacies.
