prophecy

Handke's short early play as secular liturgical litany with non-surprise ending:  Every day will be like every other day.  Next in the volume Call for Help.  Finished Shapland's A Room Above a Shop.  Moments but.  

Call for Help gem of early Handke:  No.  Perfect for Burke's theory of the negative.  

Years and years of study of Jung, MBTI and Enneagram prepared him to embrace the explanation of Otroversion as the explanation of explanations, subsuming all others, clarifying more than any other, providing the lifelong arc of insight that had taken him through all eighty-two years.  No. 

oh my goodness.  4:16 pm delightful, restful visit to the dentist earlier, big lunch now, reading about the troubled life and strange writings of Adalbert Stifter, Amitav Ghosh mentioned in the Introduction and the newest novel by Ghosh just delivered to the doorstep.  Nicholas writes about the novel on his blog, that's why I ordered it.  Even though it is hardback.  The other hardback that arrived as well is the very most recent work by Peter Handke,  The Ballad of the Last Guest.  Who is Ghosh and will he be the writer to succeed Handke once I've finished Stifter, and? Reiser?  Isabel Fargo Cole posits Ghosh's essay The Great Derangement against Stifter and she brings in Ursula LeGuin saying the novel is a medicine bag or bundle, "holding things in a particular, powerful relation to one another and to us." Now who is Amitav Ghosh.  I've seen his name.  Ok, his birthday is in two days! born 11 July 1956)^[1] is an American^[2] writer. wiki and his stature is enormous.  No wonder I need to know about him as soon as possible.  And he passes Handke's test because his interests are not simply historical but geographical, concerning landscape: "It was not intentional, but sometimes things are intentional without being intentional. Though it was never part of a planned venture and did not begin as a conscious project, I realise in hindsight that this is really what always interested me most: the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the connections and the cross-connections between these regions.^[19] 

^{By reading Ghost-Eye I will be on the edge of tomorrow as well as of today. Looking at the table right now I seem to be back into reading five or six books at a time rather than one book at a time.}
