finished reading this 403-page long paranoid sentence—Krasznahorkai confirms that he is a peerless cartographer of our natural habitat: the apocalyptic state of mind
don’t forget: ‘Hope is a mistake’

my cold take: Krasznahorkai's unbroken prose doesn't flow/trickle down the page, it rushes like a tightrope runner to the edge of something unnameable (perhaps a terminal freakness before the death knell) 🎡

reading these waterfall-like pages for hours on end puts you into a kind of emergency trance: is an apocalypse, nothingness or a hypnotic collapse looming just around the corner? 🌡️

finished my first reading of this paranoid novella; don’t worry flotsams carried by the waves of disaster, there are no sheltered places for us—we have to keep marching through the night, keep going, going, going ever onward…

just finished; highly recommended to all those who have never seen the Lord God but have seen Absalom alive in the tree, uninspired Southern Holy Rollers and other fanatics of world-creating monologues 🧏💯

unexpected side effect of this novel: reader’s inner voice gets slowly overlaid by the logorrheic jeremiad of a midwestern Iago (‘Furber is a sticky pill he will make you sick he will’🎶)

this novel just sorta... hits different, you know? (from a haunted loneliness to unassailable squares, disloyal Logos, a doggerel and a Revelation all in one page)

think of a William H. Gass’ gem during my daily tuberide in the Wake: ‘It was like looking at a word until it melted’(p.18)—is there a better way to describe Wake’s thunderwords effect?

the Anselm Kiefer exhibition at White Cube is the reason i started reading Finnegans Wake; hieroglyphs, circles, skeletal sunflowers, DNA helix, Ouroboros, echoes-riddled Waste Land—to sum up all in a Wake word: ‘The obluvial waters of our noarchic memory’
