The problem was, Lind tried to discuss some pretty high-level abstract ideas through use of a bizarre plot and highly experimentalist prose. Like Emily says, sometimes experimentalist literature works, sometimes it doesn't.<br /><br />Emily: Yes! Exactly! And Lind and Cioran - I don't know. Cioran sounds a lot more coherent than Lind.<br /><br />Diana: There's another picture floating around the Internet with a similar caption. It shows Darth Vader standing in a frozen wasteland pouring water from a pitcher into a cup.

My first thought was whether there is another translation of this book that would be more accessible!<br /><br />And, I don't know how to explain that picture, either.
