Sixteen years like living with a God damned invalid sixteen years every time you come in sitting there waiting just like you left him wave his stick at you, plump up his pillow cut a paragraph add a sentence hold his God damned hand little warm milk add a comma slip out for some air pack of cigarettes come back in right where you left him, eyes follow you around the room wave his God damned stick figure out what the hell he wants, plump the God damned pillow change bandage read aloud move a clause around wipe his chin new paragraph God damned eyes follow you out stay a week, stay a month whole God damned year think about something else, God damned friends asking how he’s coming along all expect him out any day don’t want bad news no news rather hear lies, big smile out any day now, walk down the street God damned sunshine begin to think maybe you’ll meet him maybe cleared things up got out by himself come back open the God damned door right there where you left him …
William Gaddis on writing a novel
Parallel
"Images surround us; cavorting broadcast in the minds of others, we wear the motley tailored by their bad digestions, the shame and failure, plague pandemics and private indecencies, unpaid bills, and animal ecstasies remembered in hospital beds, our worst deeds and best intentions will not stay still, scolding, mocking, or merely chattering they assail each other, shocked at recognition."

“Mothers” — William Gaddis
“Mothers” by William Gaddis
When Ralph Waldo Emerson informed—or rather, perhaps, warned us—that we are what our mothers made us, we might dismiss it as received opinion and let it go at that, like the broken clock which is right twice a day, like the self-evident answer contained in Freud’s oft-quoted query “What do women want?” when, as nature’s handmaid, she must want what nature wants which…

High modernism can manifest itself in architecture with faceless buildings that efface their own inhabitants, or in the urban planning that produces people-unfriendly places like Brasilia or Chandigarh, or in transportation schemes that allow the motorways connecting cities to obliterate neighborhoods and small towns [...] or in such massive rearrangements of landscapes as the New Deal's Tennessee Valley Authority, or Khrushchev's Virgin Lands Project, or [...] Hitler's purely Aryan Third Reich, or [...] Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward.
Now, obviously it's a stretch to lump all of these examples together. The human costs of architectural blunders do not begin to compare with the price authoritarian blunders or worse have inflicted upon our era. But remember how often the subject has come up, in this book, of self-similarity across scale. Scott doesn't use that term, but I think it's what he has in mind when he stresses the most distinctive feature of high modernism: the attempt to make not just a landscape and it people legible, but their future as well. It's a pattern that persists across vast differences in scale; and what's most striking about it is that such acts of oppression are almost always justified as acts of liberation.

Reductionism ... is only a stepping stone toward synthesis. It's not an end - or a method - in itself.

Hunter Gaddis Is Going Bananas and Maybe It Means Nothing
James A. Pittman-Imagn Images Random relievers can do crazy things in small samples. Who can ever forget Nationals right-hander Justin Miller striking out 57.9% of the hitters he faced across a three-week stretch of 2018? Or Kody Funderburk’s legendary whiff explosion to close out the 2023 Twins season? Guardians reliever Hunter Gaddis is on one of these incendiary strikeout runs, and it’s…
