Confusion Is...

21/college girl/bicoastal "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." - Franz Kafka

American Moon, Robert Whitman, 1961. From New York magazine’s recent little feature, “How Happenings Happened.”

I always wonder why most of the literary world remained / remains so uninterested in performance art, and the intersection between performance and readings.
