'Were you followed?' she asked. 'Are you serious?' 'Of course. We are not in London now.' 'No, I don't think so.' 'You said you had questions.' Marcel Theroux, Strange Bodies "Yemi. Forgive me. I should have listened to you. You were right. I didn't mean to do what I did." "The work being done in this place is important, Eko. It is more important than anything, and it is in danger. You must help John. He has lost his way. You must make him take you to the question mark. John will not want to show you, so you must make him, Eko. There are many distractions, brother, but you must move past them. What is done is done. Do you understand?" "Yes, Yemi." "And, Eko? Bring the axe." Lost, Season 2, Episode 21: ? Rob Kovitz's eagerly awaited supercut extravaganza, Frequently Asked Questions, is an epistemological-ontological-metaphysical-montage-appropriation-detective-spy-mystery-thriller-courtroom procedure caper, in which every text selection includes the word question, but much funnier than that sounds (though not any shorter). In two volumes. This second volume continues the plan outlined in the first, the commentary itself being somewhat denser. Attention is increasingly drawn to typical motifs and themes, which become more marked from book 5 on. At the same time vol. 1's emphasis on poetics, especially at the level of rhythm and diction, is maintained; and the analysis of character and motivation, as well as of divine involvement, becomes somewhat fuller than before. The four introductory chapters continue the progressive examination of the background to the Iliad; they will be complemented here and there in subsequent volumes, not least chapter 1 on Homeric religion. Reference to modern secondary literature, which some critics have found too slight, has been increased. Subsequent volumes will go further in this respect, although the principle stated in the editorial introduction to vol. 1 still applies, that neither complete bibliographical coverage nor a generally doxographical approach to Homeric interpretation is sought after ... I have also continued to maintain a certain reserve over the ultimate intentions and attitudes, both moral and literary, of the Iliad's monumental composer. That may be frustrating to some, but a commentator's first aim should be, not to provide ready-made answers to all possible questions at whatever level of generality, but to help his users make their own attempts to do so. Meanwhile (as a visit to the recent F.I.E.C. congress in Pisa served to remind one), on many points of Homeric interpretation, not least over questions of religion, a distinctly personal, not to say visceral response is still preferred by many scholars. G. S. Kirk, Preface (The Iliad: A Commentary, Volume 2, Books 5-8) Mature audiences only 2.0 out of 5 stars This graphic novel, a collection of the comic books, needs a warning label. I'm sure some will enjoy the gritty, cynical, graphic, and unremittingly liberal plot lines, but I wasn't one of them. The scratchy artwork was interesting at first, but soon, for me, became tiring, almost as if it were a caricature of comic book art. If it had a redeeming quality, it was in the fact that there wasn't a super-power in sight. But, eventually, I began to wonder how many times the Question can be beaten into unconsciousness and still remain alive. -BarClay Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan, The , Vol. 2: Poisoned Ground (Amazon Customer Reviews) ¿¿Treyf Books ¿Keep Refrigerated
Autorenporträt
Rob Kovitz is the creator of Treyf Books, unusual and ingenious appropriation-montage "novels" that consist of texts and images compiled from various sources, usually obsessively related to one or more themes, and then imaginatively recombined through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering and juxtaposition. Kovitz's previous bookworks include Pig City Model Farm, Room Behavior, According to Plan, The Sweets of Home, and the 8-volume, 4750 page appropriation epic Ice Fishing in Gimli.
