Working Backward
“Death itself would start
working backward.”– Aslan in
The Chronicles of Narnia
“‘Memory is
non-narrative
and non-linear,’
Lin said of the work….
‘People say,
“How do you
read this?”
Any way you want.’”“Work as if you were in the
early days of a better
nation.”
From Carole A. Holdsworth,
Dulcinea and Pynchon’s V:Tanner may have stated it best:
“V. is whatever lights you to
the end of the street:
she is also the dark annihilation
waiting at the end of the street.”(Tony Tanner, page 36,
”V. and V-2,” in
Pynchon: A Collection
of Critical Essays.
Ed. Edward Mendelson.
Englewood Cliffs, N. J.:Prentice-Hall, 1978. 16-55).
She’s a mystery
She’s everything
a woman should be
Woman in black
got a hold on me
