Catascope

« the texts of Michael Mc Aloran, as in this new book, radically displace the locus of agency & reflection from the «I » to the « it », perhaps as in « Es gibt » - It gives thought, as it were. « ...I steps it knows no other than » - the orginary identity is made of words, on the surface, but the original identity is the animal identity, decorously obsessed with the flesh. & as with me syntax is seemingly experienced by the writer as an offensive idiocy, though referral is otherwise aligned & words do not say the same.

the futility of existence is expressed perfectly in « ...(I speaks because I) » - i like that sort of thing & so should you. buy this book. »
