Metonymy

Who are we, who is each one of us, if not a combination of experiences, information, books we have read, and things imagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can be constantly shuffled and reordered every way conceivable. -Italo Calvino

Intelligence is nothing without delight.

-Paul Claudel

This book is a composite of aphorisms, observations, lists, photos ... the minutae of everyday life, a performance piece in print, an unconventional prose poem, an archeological survey of perception.
