8. Living Literature
A colleague of mine, Christopher McFetridge, embarked on a new passage of self-discovery through literature. This project was described as such:
IN AN ATTEMPT TO FILL WHAT I IMAGINE WILL BE A POST-UNDERGRADUATE VOID, I’M GOING TO START POSTING QUOTES FROM LITERATURE THAT I AM CURRENTLY READING. I THINK THAT THE IDEA IS TO REMIND ME TO CONTINUE EXPLORING NEW WORKS OF PHILOSOPHY, AS WELL AS MODERN AND POST-MODERN FICTION. I HOPE TO SIMPLIFY THE EXPERIENCE OF THESE QUOTES BY TAGGING BOTH AUTHOR AND WORK AS WELL AS DIFFERENTIATING THE QUOTE FROM OTHER MATERIAL I’VE COME ACROSS BY WAY OF “#LIVING LITERATURE.”
I WILL TRY NOT TO SPOIL ANY PLOT LINES, BUT MAY INEVITABLY BE FORCED TO DO SO: SORRY IN ADVANCE. THE FIRST BOOK I WILL WORK THROUGH IS JOHN BARTH’S 1956 NOVEL “THE FLOATING OPERA” WHICH HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN TANDEM WITH ITS SUCCESSOR “THE END OF THE ROAD,” BY ANCHOR BOOKS.
