I agree with the above statement of: "...he just doesn't seem to 'give a damn'". In class on Thursday, I juxtaposed my feelings of reading the text with the feeling I get when mindlessly people watching in Penn Station- both conjured feelings of absolute whatever. I mean, its not to say that his work is not important to the literary community but I am not really seeing how this fits in with the evolutionary pattern.

Is it similar to the pictures that were presented in class on Tuesday, where it went from fully constructed to just the fundamental units of the tree? Is this the breakdown of this novel as well- where there is constantly a mix between these prose and poetry type passages. Is it meant to represent something bigger? The constant immersion of different stages of evolutionary literary techniques? Is my brain to unsophisticated to deconstruct and construct what is going on in a reasonable manner? Probably.
