		<title>&#8220;Contemporary&#8221; Catechism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) The other day I read a diverting—if argumentationally (Joyce isn&#8217;t the only one who can make up words) lightweight—piece by Annie Dillard called &#8220;Contemporary Prose Styles,&#8221; in which Dillard plays Linnaeus and classifies &#8220;contemporary&#8221; prose styles (the article is as old as I am) as either &#8220;fancy&#8221; (or &#8220;fine&#8221;) or &#8220;plain.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>VISITING RELATIVE OCCUPES TIME, LIVING ROOM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) Howdy, Zombies! My mother (neither beastly nor dead) came &#8217;round, and my time she flew by. But I&#8217;m honor-bound to make it all up, and while it would make sense to jump aboard where the boat is now, I feel I must backfill. That is, what I have to say on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Et in Arcadia Ego</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) We&#8217;ve seen a man shaving, two breakfasts, nude swimming, a bath, and a trip to the outhouse; who didn&#8217;t see the &#8220;Hades&#8221; funeral coming? When part of the point is apparently to depict the pure embodiedness of living, death has to hover on the horizon. And notice how almost none of [...]]]></description>

		<title>And the Stream of Consciousness Rolls Ever On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) All right, so I know that in 1922 the stream of consciousness was the very Rubicon that marked the border with the future of literature; but lo these 88 years later, we&#8217;re reasonably familiar with the trick. I have a well-loved Mrs Dalloway in one of my boxes of books, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Hell&#8217;s Heart He Stabs at—What, Exactly?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) &#8220;The &#8216;elusiveness&#8217; of Kafkaesque terror &#8230; is maybe the supersaturation of every possible line of allegorical reading (you can&#8217;t isolate what is everywhere).&#8221; John Holbo. (I know Kafka&#8217;s a long stretch from Moby-Dick, but he&#8217;s not why I used the quotation; I aim to connect the extract and the point below.) [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Eight-Sided Circle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) &#8220;A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.&#8221; William Blake. Ah, &#8220;The Doubloon.&#8221; This is my kind of chapter (ch. 99). It&#8217;s all about interpretation, or the search for (and imposition of) meaning. It explicitly dramatizes the process we all go through every day, where we take [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Town-Ho&#8217;s Time Line</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(For reference, with chapter 54 of Moby-Dick.) 2 years Before Narrating Present (BNP): The Town-Ho mutiny occurs. &#8220;Not very long&#8221; BNP: The Pequod speaks the Goney. NP: The Pequod gams with the Town-Ho and one of the latter ship&#8217;s sailors tells Tashtego what has transpired on board. 1 day After Narrating Present (ANP): Sleep-talking Tashtego [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Course You Can&#8217;t Trust Him—He&#8217;s Narrating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) &#8220;Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.&#8221; Adrienne Rich. It&#8217;s funny the way this book works on me: It spends 35 chapters deferring any revelations on the plot, and just as it finally establishes what&#8217;s really at stake, I go haring off after the narrator. Specifically, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Extract</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Cross-posted from Infinite Zombies.) &#8220;A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.&#8221; Gustav Mahler. Daryl asked, &#8220;Are the extracts required reading?&#8221; I say absolutely. In fact, I think they&#8217;re so important that I want to add another one to them: the Mahler quotation I opened with. Think of it as a kind [...]]]></description>
