This work is too much of everything. Almost a DNF. Putting back in the deep recesses of a TBR shelf. Will give JR a chance later this summer.

My favorite reads of 2024.
Book Three.
Authenticity in one’s personal and artistic life runs throughout the novel. I was interested in the exploration of authenticity specifically in the case of self-identity in conflict with religious teachings.

In Gaddis's galaxy, celestial objects heave into misalignment…then, even that is only temporary…Navigating this book, then, involves a kind of sidereal tracking of the paths of moving bodies….

He clung as though to save himself from going over, not falling, but simply going over the side and out onto that swarming brilliance where everything would be all right at last.

—anyways you couldn't drownd on the land.
—You couldn't! Well it's…it's like that. It's like drowning, this despair, this…being engulfed in emptiness.

Do you think any painter did anything but hire himself out…Do you think a van Eyck didn't curse having to whore away his genius, to waste his talents…at the mercy of people he hated?

Fear, fear, pessimism and fear and depression everywhere…that's why your pictures are so cluttered with detail, this terror of emptiness, this absolute terror of space. Because maybe God isn't watching. Maybe he doesn't see….

—I know you, I know you. You're the only serious person in the room, aren't you, the only one who understands, and you can prove it by the fact that you've never finished a single thing in your life. You're the only well-educated person….

The boundaries between good and evil must be defined again, they must be reestablished….you couldn't have a world in which the problem of evil could be solved…Oh yes, by confessing, to set up order once more between yourself and the world….

…this reality you used to talk about…As though you could deny, and have nothing to replace what you take away…Oh yes, zero does not exist…I watched you turn into no one…a pose became a life, until you were trying to make negative things do the work of positive ones.

-Damn it, it was his soul, Otto said defiantly, —and he sold it to the devil.
—No. It was not his to dispose of. We belong to our souls, not our souls to us.

Do you think he didn't take me up on a high mountain, and show me all the kingdoms of the world…offer them to me? and give them to me…if this is not Renunciation….

-My dear fellow, remember Emerson's advice, Basil Valentine said, and paused….We are advised to treat other people as though they were real, he said then, lighting his cigarette, —because, perhaps they are.

Do they really know each other, do they really give anything to each other? or is all they have to share this…same conspiracy against reality they try to share with me?

Lucifer was the archangel who refused to serve Our Lord. To sin is to falsify something in the Divine Order…His name means Bringer of Light…he tried to steal the power of Our Lord and to bring his own light to man. He tried to become original…command his own destiny….
