Citation(s)

I find this flyer--"Do you know anything about this man?"--in the place I go to. A week later. And I wonder about it. But I don't really care.

Discours (notes)

The main structural layout of this piece is two texts side by side, both in the first person. One is narrated by the fiance of woman. The other is narrated by the lover of that same woman. The fiance text and the lover text. The latter has a very loose conception of language. The former a very structured one. The fiance, who lives in a different city than his betrothed, discovers the affair, and, being as he is getting his Ph.D. in human communication, decides to blow off the departmental project he’s been working on, the study of meticulously taped recordings of employees working in one office for a particular company. Instead he bugs his fiance’s apartment to "study" and analyze the interaction she has with her lover. The lover is a poet. For the most part each node has at least two links in it, one that links to its partner narrative, another that links within its own narrative. There are some nodes with three links, one of which links to magnetic poetry boards, another element of the narrative.
