Hello Pen 'ellers, I enjoyed reading the travel journal. Reminds me of reading Sartre's novels. The writing held up through the whole piece. I myself don't think of doing art this way.
This little essay did stimulate me in another direction. I am thinking about Wittgenstein and color. If one reads Wittgenstein, his style of writing is quite different from Jurriaan's. There is a wholeness to Jurriaan's approach that is quite different than Wittgenstein's. I think it possible to think about these issues not so much for literary merit, but in the Marxist sense of realism and where it might lead. I think I'll take a critical look at Wittgenstein for a little note to this list. And consider certain things about Wittgenstein, for example memory in his writings. Marx might raise history about Wittgenstein in a more broad way, but I think we can also narrow the issue down to Wittgenstein's level. I have some curious visual examples to use that resonate on the issue of color. Wittgenstein loved the movies, pulpy stuff appealed to him according to various person's who knew him. So Wittgenstein has a track record in an area that is being rapidly transformed now in the economy. So I have an easy soft target in Wittgenstein for developing some political history and economics about. Coming soon. thanks, Doyle
