I'm currently reading Needle in the Groove by Jeff Noon, a cyberpunk novel that plays with language by updating Burroughs' cut-up technique. Noon uses the metaphor of the remix, splicing and dicing sentences, running words through imaginary filters and phase shifters, playing with meaning like a literary DJ. This approach is demonstrated further in a recent collection called Cobralingus.
So I'm off to do a little bit of reading before the sandman shoots me in the face. Night all.
Howdy...I'm so glad all is cool with you. I'm redesigning my entire blog thing. This will be my new thing. My old one will eventually go away. I need a focus...We missed you at T and C's BBQ. Dashiell wanted to tell you the story of the Chinese Brothers. He loves that book! I'll drop you a line when I get my poop in the group!
ReplyDeleteHey there, Octave Doctor! Yeah, I ended up having to work on Saturday so I missed the BBQ. I'll have to stop over soon so Dash and I can read it together--that is so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog title--that would be a fun party indeed.
