    Summary

    "We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps even bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art."

    - Paul Valéry, PIÈCES SUR L’ART
    "La Conquète de l’ubiquité," Paris.

    Qtd. by Walter Benjamin, Illuminations, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," trans. Harry Zohn, ed. Hannah Arendt, p. 217. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich by arrangement, New York, 1968.


    "...at the periphery, an annular building; at the center, a tower; this tower is pierced with wide windows that open onto the inner side of the ring; the periphery building is divided into cells, each of which extends the whole width of the building; they have two windows, one on the inside, corresponding to the windows of the tower; the other, on the outside, allows the light to cross the cell from one end to the other. All that is needed, then, is to place a supervisor in a central tower and to shut up in each cell a madman, a patient, a condemned man, a worker or a schoolboy."

    - Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of Prison, trans. Alan Sheridan, p. 200. Vintage Books, New York, 1977.

    Summary

    To say that he had noticed Liebgott would be a statement, and it would be true, but it also would not fully capture the situation.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    sharp & illuminating & precise. ow. shares my preoccupation with what i have been calling the vampire money.mp3 problem but with incredible depth & thoughtfulness & an intensely present lestat narratorial voice. anyway i am going to reread this like four times probably it is genius but it did make me need to get up & pace. my favorite part is lestat crying about judy blume but there are many memorable moments that i keep turning over in my mind, although generally they are painful (lestat being mean to louis about woody allen; lestat driving, outside his own body, terrifying). also i love lestat's glasses. story of all time
