ERUCTED THOUGHTS, MIDDEN SIFTINGS, HETERONYMOUS DISJECTA.

CRITICAL ROUTINE #1 (Extract)

To write is to violate the barrier that surrounds and protects the one who says 'I'. ... The growth of the work entails the withering of the author, the author's interminable death, unachievable endlessly approachable end. But to read is to die instantaneously, to surrender to the death [of 'I'] that is the essence and attraction of the work or to be caught in the throes of resistance. To read is to sample one's own inexistence in the slow self-nullification of another. But it is an impossible suicide: the reader having read rises from the coffin, the coffin constructed by the author but which the author cannot use. The reader goes on as before but not as before: the reader's life completes the author's death.
