Rene Gladman. The Activist. 2003.

Most important book of 2003? Irreducible as Beckett. The language expresses alienation from alienation. Precisely vague dreams push against white space. Unimaginable mostly blank newspaper. Meaning laps at its edges. A tedious consciousness-raising meeting is abstracted upa level to simpler shapes. Lucid hallucination, reasonable syntax assures us. Where's the bridge has anybody seen the bridge? Not a book, finally, about the activist
