Points of Departure
Stephen Abblitt
Abstract
We leave Double Oblivion of the Ourang-Outang with a lasting
image of the poet-thinker swiftly bundling the papers comprising the
manuscript (it feels hardly that substantial) back into the cardboard box,
setting it down by the front door, because the garbage truck is coming, it is Sunday morning, and she must be rid of it. It returned 172 pages earlier, gathered beneath the improbable heading Le Prénom de Dieu, an uncalculated find, a moment equally of good fortune and strange disquiet. Its disappearance is similarly left finally to the anonymous garbage collectors, out of her authorial hands, leaving so many potential points of departure.
