I am of the order whose purpose is not to teach the world a lesson but to explain that school is over. - Henry Miller

This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty ... what you will.

I blush to think of our origins—our hands are steeped in blood and crime. And there is no letup to the slaughter and pillage.

The whole damned universe has to be taken apart, brick by brick, and reconstructed.
