Species of Abandoned Light / Berry, Jake ; Foley J., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-24230-24682
Scope and Contents

Foley contributes an Afterword in which he points out that Berry phrases juxtaposed to other phrases may have nothing to do with each other. Foley indicates that readers identify the value of a text with its unity but Berry's text is deliberately & fundamentally incoherent - though it is not insane. Berry is not under the delusion that his text makes sense whereas in fact it does not. It is a glimpse of chaos that allows us to hold our minds, without danger, in constant perception of a powerful force, -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
