If you are alone, are you by definition lonely\u2014with the yearning that implies? What does yearning do to warp the results of an inquiry? \u2026 A circle looks at a square and sees a badly made circle. If we\u2019re going to ask a question like \u2018Are we alone?\u2019, an awareness of our own inconsistent history, our own limitations, is important\u2014and so too is a wider understanding of what exists all around us.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Samuel Delany\u2019s novel <em>Hogg<\/em> is chock full of rape, incest, and abjection; to read its reviews is to understand \u201cthe difficulty of ascribing value to literature that is purposely <em>unpleasant<\/em> to read.\u201d What are we to make of it\u2014or, more important, <a href=\"http:\/\/lareviewofbooks.org\/essay\/uses-of-displeasure-samuel-delany\/\" target=\"_blank\">how are we to discuss what we mean by <em>enjoyment<\/em> and <em>disgust<\/em><\/a>? \u201cWhat happens when readers feel, for instance, aroused while reading <em>Hogg<\/em>, or when they experience conflicting affective responses? \u2026 The body\u2019s responses are nuanced and manifold, and critics require more nuanced and legible terms for understanding them, especially those that are unsettling or unrecognizable.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If that\u2019s too heavy for you, look at this eighteenth-century embroidered worsted-wool Bible cover, a handmade, one-of-a-kind object that functions to individuate in the same way that an iPhone cover does now: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/provenanceonlineproject.wordpress.com\/2015\/07\/17\/custom-made-provenance\/\" target=\"_blank\">This is a book that was owned by someone with something to show the world<\/a> \u2026 This embroidery work, taken up by a woman in a quiet moment at home 256 years ago, serves as a reminder to us of all we put our names to, all we add of our own selves to the world, and all the ways what we read, view, and watch is wrapped in the colors of our own individual experience.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Joe Gould\u2019s <em>The Oral History of Our Time <\/em>might just be the longest book ever written\u2014portions of it were secreted away in closets and attics, and its manuscript, all told, was more than seven feet high.
