i simply think it would be fun & interesting to write or read a book where you've got some guys having problems in the foreground (as is typical), and some absolutely wild shit occurring in the background. you can tell the background stuff is more important in the long run, but the foreground guys will not STOP having problems (unrelated to the background). so you have to do the reader's equivalent of straining your neck and leaning in weird ways to peer around the foreground guys...

thinking once again about how we live at the edge of time which creates itself every moment. we live on the crest of a breaking wave! and the wave will never fully break!! we are suspended forever in the vertiginous present!!!!
