"What we need are books that hit us like a painful misfortune, like the death of someone we loved more than we love ourselves, that make us feel as though we had been banished to the woods, far from any human presence, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is what I believe." Franz Kafka, 1940
Grapes are my favorite fruit. Because with grapes, you can always get another chance. Because if you have a crappy apple or peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem -just move on to the next.
I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.
