"Do you think things are the way they seem, as simple as that, no complicating factors, no questions asked? No, said Harry Magaña, it's always important to ask questions. Correct, said the Tijuana cop. It's always imoportant to ask questions, and it's important to ask yourself why you ask the questions you ask. And do you know why? Because just one slip and our questions take us places we don't want to go. Do you see what I'm getting at, Harry? Our questions are, by definition, suspect. But we have to ask them. And that's the most fucked-up thing of all. That's life, said Harry Magaña."
-- Roberto Bolaño, 2666, The Part about the Crimes
The perspective of this photo is great. I didn't know if the window was on the ceiling or the wall...crazy.
ReplyDeleteFunny, today Kottke posted an excerpt from the same book.
ReplyDeleteChase: I knew I wanted that grated window, but had trouble shooting it. Figuring out how to get it. Which was surprising, since the image is so simple.
ReplyDeleteAdam: Well the book is making quite a splash. You should read it. There were two passages I read today that made me think of you.
