So they're all gathering in this one apartment to watch the Super Bowl in 2022.
They talk... I'm very interested to hear what Geordie says about the way they talk.
I found myself thinking really irresistibly of Virginia Woolf's late, late novel, The Waves, in which she made the sort of mad attempt to represent consciousness in dialogue.
And they...
sometimes speak directly to each other, but they sometimes narrate either what's going on in front of them.
For instance, Jim is closely focused on, you know, the screen that tells you which way the plane is going, how long till you arrive, all of those sorts of things.
And Tessa, just as Geordie says, seems almost to be talking at cross purposes in a strange way to him about the things they've seen while they've been in Europe.
It's as though they're reciting a kind of a past consciousness.
And that's what made me think of Woolf, which of course is real modernist rather than postmodernist.
I am a great surrenderer in reading.
I find it's the only way I can do it properly.
I always have to let go of ideas and preconceived notions.
So, yeah, I surrendered to it as well.
I felt something that I realized was more apparent as the thing goes on, that there were little errors in the text.
At first I thought, is this real?
Is this a mistake?
Has this been set wrongly?
Oh, and as you go on, you discover that little errors are dropped into the text as you go.
Errors about things I wouldn't have been able to spot errors in, but errors about Einstein, errors about years of things happening.
But it just comes up.
