Hyphen: Ambitious, multilayered, and fantastic →

March 28, 2013 Laura Trippi
“Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being makes you question your experiences as a reader, as a person on this earth, and as a being in time and space. It’s ambitious, it’s multilayered, and it’s fantastic.”
— Jenny Yap, Hyphen

As will be gathered
from these notes of mine,
I am the sort of person
who approves
of what others abhor
and detests
the things they like.

—Sei Shonagon, The Pillow Book, circa 1000 AD

Clearly,
if Sei Shonagon had had access
to the Internet,
she would have had a weblog
instead of a Pillowbook.

—Ruth Ozeki, Weblog, circa 2000 AD

 Ocean Currents and Sea Ice from Atlas of World Maps, United States Army Service Forces, Army Specialized Training Division. Army Service Forces Manual M-101 (1943).

“There are eleven great planetary gyres,” he said. “The flotsam that rides the gyres is called drift. Drift that stays in the orbit of the gyre is considered to be part of the gyre memory. The rate of escape from the gyre determines the half-life of drift.…”

He picked up the Hello Kitty lunchbox and turned it over in his hands.
