If you say "I'm reading this book, a noir book in the

********************* One brings a thousand expectations and
preconceived notions to the reading of a book. Strip those
away and you've got a newborn incapable of much more than
chewing the book cover. A person is a sum total,
contradictions, ambiguities, doubts and all. If you want to
allude to some deconstructed transcendental self reading
transparently, you go there without me.
I've got some thoughts on your comments about truth, too, but
I'm going to have to save that for later. Meeting till noon
today and then I'm on my way back home to the hills and
hollers of southern Indiana. I've got Charlie Huston's Caught
Stealing to keep me company on the flight.
