This necessarily means the inner city, the littoral on which all our detritus washes up before drifting into farther oblivion. It’s therefore no coincidence that Johnny sells antiques on Thing Street West, literally to lunatics. You’d literally (or littorally?) be crazy, to buy any of his junk. ____________________________________________________________ The main motif of Pioneers of Alienation is the t...
