All my books, no matter the title, are only parts of the NON-DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD cycle. All my books are the consecutive attempts to answer the question: can the world be described? And the questions derived from it: if yes, then how? if not, then how? And many others among which the most important, therefore the most banal, is the following one: what is the world like? Of course the non-human world, small part of which is our human world. Non is very, even extremely, important. Not only because the world is indescribably beautiful, as well as indescribably awful and awkward. Probably mainly because I not only write, I also non-write, so I not only describe, but also non-describe. Yes, that’s it. I don’t use only writing, I use also non-writing. Non-letters and non-signs. People often say: oh, this can not be described with words, words are not enough... I ask: if words are not enough, then what is enough? Non-words? Maybe. Let’s try, then. So I’ve been trying. I've been non-describing all the time. Why the prefix in has suddenly and unexpectedly been replaced with non? Non seems more capacious, wider-deeper-higher than in. These are only technical matters, however they shouldn’t be neglected. A form is a content, isn't it? There is no empty form, as there is no content that has no form – there must be something that contains, a sort of container... A book is not a mere container which contains a content. A book is not an insignificant wrapping for the text, something that can be replaced randomly and with no consequences, just thrown away like a piece of paper a snack is packed in. A book itself is a text. Entire book... A text or non-text? If non-text, does it mean somebody non-reads it? Every book, every part of NON-DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD, is a problem to be solved. Making a book is just solving a problem – a ready book is a result of this solving, next piece of the puzzle that has nobody knows how many pieces. I will make as many pieces as I will, neither more nor less. And I will put together as big part of a jigsaw as I will, neither bigger nor smaller. |
