DARK HORSEY says-One thinks via quotations (quoting others, quoting oneself) the quotations standing for positions exemplified, referred to metonymically, by authors. Thus one has in mind, one mobilises, an improvised, ever-shifting canon. Calasso demonstrates one such, unpacking the liubrary in his mind. Essays on the virtues but also the interconnectedness of various authors & on their influence on each other- Nietzsche, Benjamin, Kraus, Walser, Kafka, Musil, Adorno, Arendt, Schreber, Flaubert, Brainard, Confucius & others (Lacan, Wilden et al). |
