by activating sustained human breath

Our wanderer has people from every nation using the jew's harp by page 189.  Jaw harp, juice harp, mouth harp, instructors and performers on youtube use all these names.  This international conference at The Inn of the Unknown.   The wanderere became filled with feelings, more and more feelings of great and persistent happiness, gratitude, affection and love of life    a dream sound a threshold sound 

@xirtman posted this about one novel by Handke and one by Genet

All five works share this invariant structure: A solitary mind, cut off from social reality, recursively modeling a single obsession through a self-contained linguistic system, where emotion is displaced into structure and narrative collapses into cognition.  

That is the pattern.

Austic traits  --- cross-text pattern extraction   Mono-tropism, total cognitive fixation 

single-axis obsession  

Pierre   metaphysical identity collapse

Across   perceptual traversal / space consciousness

Beckett Trilogy  --- consciousness stripped to minimal recursion

Kafka Diaries  obsessive self-monitoring

Funeral Rites  --  death, ritual, erotic fixation 

  • ierre → metaphysical identity collapse
  • Across → perceptual traversal / space-consciousness
  • Beckett Trilogy → consciousness stripped to minimal recursion
  • Kafka Diaries → obsessive self-monitoring
  • Funeral Rites → death, 
not at all sure why he posted this and what he was trying to say or illustrate  

is the list---given the bullets -- an AI generated response  ?

oh  it was his reply to Troy James Weaver listing these five books as ones everyone should read once in their lives 

xirtman seems to point out who are autistic e.g. he says Nietzsche is and Frank Lloyd Wright was a high-functioning autistic 

At this point in Moravian Night I would say he's on to something in Handke.  But/and does being a writer make one eventually into a sort of autistic performer or is one autistic and becomes a writer because not much else is open or possible?  Was Joe
Monninger a sort of autistic person?  

The Jews Harp convention is an interesting trope he's figured out---the dialectic between the individual's breath and the national and geological terrain that emerges from the breathed performance.  

and now we find that the watches on each person's wrist disturbs the storytelling and the harp performances  local time reminders destroy   time as prison destroys time of play and dreams 

only defiance is left as a way to counter the world  ---Balkans as artists of defiance --  chubby boy beams forth  everyone invited
to next year's convention in the Balkans by our wanderer 

what a strange book   ---  is he not novelizing his "politics" of the Balkans---treating them as an ancient whole rather than in the recent Serbian Croatian civil war dissolution of the fake Yugoslavia ?  

now in Genet's book we have a scene with a watch---the executioner unstraps Erik's watch, it falls to the ground and he feels purer  70
