"Ghost Story
I find your strange ghost
out in the fog, in dry grass—
Grief haunts dying roots."
--@Anthony_Etherin
"Still, the novel remained his subject, one that he loved. He held the complications of its heritage in his sight. He chose to read the so-called canon 'contrapuntally'—a helpful Saidian term—rather than disavowing texts written in previous eras out of retrospective feelings of disgust, based on what he saw as their implication in systems of oppression and domination. Of course, later on, he himself saw this literary tradition less and less as a sole privilege of the West but rather as something shared by everyone, complexly; a tradition interpenetrated by cultures of the East and the South, and also inherited by them." --Isabella Hammad (via @AriaAber via @ChelsDingman)
