p. 34: Vers trois heures et demie, elle prend le IND jusqu'à West Fourth Street. Des graffiti transparaissent sous les couches de peinture fraîche. New York rature tous les noms: Dee Dee, Sexy Sun, Uncle Rican, Star III retournent lentement à l'anonymat. C'est ça qu'il faudrait comme environnement! Tout à fait ça! Des graffiti phosphorescents et quelques-uns hauts de plusieurs pieds...
"Bronx style is bubble letters, and Brooklyn style is script with lots of flourishes and arrows. It's a style all by itself. Braodway style, these long slim letters, was brought here from Philadelphia by a guy named Topcat. Queens style is very difficult, very hard to read."
L'article du Village Voice s'appuie sur les déclarations d'un certain AMRL, connu aussi sous le nom de BAMA, un de ces scripteurs clandestins. Ian pourrait essayer de le rencontrer pour se documenter d'ici la prochaine réunion de production...
Pendant que la mégapole efface les traces de ces explosions nominales, les faire ressurgir dans un théâtre de West Fourth Street. L'affirmation souterraine et souveraine de ces saboteurs de la grisaille récusée par l'hôtel de ville et récupérée par le théâtre underground. Le cri du coeur de quelques délinquants new-yorkais figé dans sa représentation... Décidément, il faudra trouver autre chose, Lotte.
*Le graffiti incarne - paradoxalement, puisqu'on dit bien, après tout, "graffiti writing" - une vision de l'oralité comme "affirmation souterraine et souveraine de [...] saboteurs de la grisaille récusée par l'hôtel de ville", sorte de bête sauvage mise en cage par l'idée de représentation - de "récupération" - dans le théâtre, dans l'écriture.

BEAUCHEMIN, Jean-François
Ah! si j'avais su que vocabulaire est ainsi que le drap posé sur le fantôme, lui donnant apparences et dehors, et lui retirant enfin sa détestable invisibleté! (150)

Son rétorque fut prompt, et viril : « Ânetés, naïveries! Mon esgourde traduit encore toutes choses bruiteuses sur terre! Et il n'est de murmure en ici que celui de l'arrière-saison qui arrive sur nous à grands pas! Reprends ton emploi, j'ai dit! Et fends ces billes, et fais provision de racines, et recouds nos liquettes, et usine-nous tuques et calots de pelisses! » Ainsi répliquait père à la beauté, y compris à la beauté des inexplicabletés : par fabriquement de bonnets, stockage de laines et tricotet d'accoutre.

Enfin, je saisis l'image de père palabrant avec ses gens et effectuant pour eux les actes les plus bizarres, tels qu'ils ont été narrés par-devant vous, Monsieur le juge, et ci-devant votre face aussi, Membres du jury de ce tribuneau. (90)

BEAUCHEMIN, Jean-François
Car en matière d'humanité père n'était pas chercheur, et déviait volontiers son penser de tout ce qui réclamait usage extraordinaire de casque. Ce n'était pas qu'il fût dépourvu d'éclairage. Seulement, il allait, semblable au poisson-chat: manœuvrant juste sous la surface des choses, comme si plonger en leur fondement risquait de l'engluer de limon. Son apparence elle-même évoquait quelque bête sous-marine: quoique charnu et râblé, père avait quelque chose de glissant et d'ondulant, une inexplicableté qui lui permettait d'aller parmi les choses sans se heurter à elles, les évitant plutôt, les contournant, s'y dérobant. [...] C'est que, pour piloter sa personne, père s'en remettait entièrement à son pied, qui en toutes circonstances lui servait pour ainsi dire d'œil. Et sa main, son blair, ses esgourdes unanimement lui étaient alors une manière de guide. Voilà pour son guidement au sein des lieux. (106)

Il y a une manière de prendre la lame. Seul, Montour ne la comprend pas bien encore. Bombardier s'efforce de l'aider; il donne des signaux. Mais chaque mouvement de Montour reçoit le commandement de son intelligence et de sa volonté, non celui de l'habitude: alors le mouvement arrive toujours de quelques secondes en retard. (50)

Turenne suit de vieux sentiers à peine indiqués qui serpentent sous bois, dévalent dans des ravins, franchissent des ruisseaux et des lacs qui ne sont plus, dans le paysage, que de grandes clairières. Le soir vient: l'homme s'arrête, creuse un large trou avec ses raquettes et les suspend ensuite à un arbre. Il allume un grand feu et il mange. Bientôt, il s'allonge sur le lit de branches de sapin, au fond du trou, entre les grosses couvertures; l'air pur passe entre ses lèvres, froid comme de l'eau, des étoiles brillent là-haut dans le firmament bleu noir. Et partout s'étend un silence complet, un silence de planète saisie par le froid, gelée jusqu'en son centre, toute vie détruite. (158)

Louison Turenne se traîne. De son couteau, il frappe au cœur, à la manière indienne, le caribou couché; puis il boit une gorgée de ce sang très chaud. Il se repose. Puis il détache un morceau de chair, la fait bouillir sur le feu, et il distribue un peu de bouillon à chacun; il suspend au-dessus des flammes l'estomac de l'animal qui contient des substances facilement digestibles, et il extrait la cervelle. Le sommeil le gagne. Mais quand pourra-t-il s'y abandonner? Ces hommes affamés se jetteraient sur la viande crue, qu'il doit leur défendre maintenant comme un poison, et ils mourraient. Déjà, deux d'entre eux agonisent. N'est-ce pas suffisant? (128)

"You had this list, Raymond," you say, causing more trouble. "Who else was on it? It was quite a list: Shakespeare, Sam Shepard, Rob Lowe, Ronald Reagan, his son -"

"About what?" you all ask back.
"Huh?" Steve asks after the Brazilian leaves.

And Ted's right on top of that, he thinks our culture attaches too much importance to feelings, he says it's out of control, it's not computers that are making everything virtual, it's mental health. Everyone's trying to correct their thoughts and improve their feelings and work on their relationships and parenting skills instead of just getting married and raising children like they used to, is what Ted says. We've bumped up to the next level of abstraction because we have too much time and money, is what he says, and he refuses to be a part of it. He wants to eat "real" food and go to "real" places and talk about "real" things like business and science. So he and I don't really agree at all anymore on what's important in life.

"There's a word in Italian. Dietrologia. It Means the science of what is behind something. A suspicious event. The science of what is behind an event."
"They need this science. I don't need it."
"I don't need it either. I'm just telling you."
"I'm an American. I go to ball games," he said.
"The science of dark forces. Evidently they feel this science is legitimate enough to require a name."
"People who need this science, I would make an effort to tell them we have real sciences, hard sciences, we don't need imaginary ones."
"I'm just telling you the word. I agree with you, Sims. But the word exists."
"There's always a word. [...]"

"The tag or aglet."
"The aglet," I said.
"And the little metal ring that reinforces the rim of the eyelet through which the aglet passes. We're doing the physics of language, Shay."
"The little ring."
"You see it?"
"Yes."
"This is the grommet," he said.
"Oh man."
"The grommet. Learn it, know it and love it."
"I'm going out of my mind."
"This is the final arcan knowledge. And when I take my shoe to the shoemaker and he places it on a form to make repairs - a block shaped like a foot. This is called a what?"
"I don't know."
"A last."
"My head is breaking apart."
"Everyday things represent the most overlooked knowledge. These names are vital to your progress. Quotidian things. If they weren't important, we wouldn't use such a gorgeous Latinate word. Say it," he said.
"Quotidian."
"An extraordinary word that suggests the depth and reach of the commonplace."

Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it. What I couldn't stand was this shrinking everything into letters and numbers. Instead of leaf shapes and enlarged diagrams of the holes the leaves breathe through and fascinating words like carotene and xanthophyll on the blackboard, there were these hideous, cramped, scorpion-lettered formulas in Mr Manzi's special red chalk.
The Bell Jar, 1963.

I didn't think about the vending machines as I passed them, but I acknowledge their presence in some grateful part of my consciousness, a part equivalent in function to the person in movie credits charged with "continuity", who makes sure that if an actor is wearing a Band-Aid and sitting in front of three pancakes on one day of shooting, the pnacakes and the Band-Aid look exactly the same the next day.

But other things, like gas pumps, ice cube trays, transit buses, or milk containers, have undergone disorienting changes, and the only way that we can understand the proportion and range and effect of those changes, which constitute the often undocumented daily texture of our lives (a rough gravelly texture, like the shoulder of a road, which normally passes too far for microscopy), is to sample early images of the objects in whatever form they take in kid-memory - and once you invoke those kid-memories, you have to live with their constant tendency to screw up your fragmentary historiography with violas of lost emotion.
