the grave gives up its secrets fairly


(pic by Anna Palmer on Fb)

"the Japanese have been obsessed with the Silk Road since the 1980s and scholars continue to work to re-create what was lost--in reproductions or in digitalization--in what in itself is an act of pilgrammage."

Our store got in the two-volume Nietzsche biography by his sister, in German blackletter from the 20s. A deeply sinister work. Oddly, this philosophaster herself was traduced in a weird forgery that, nevertheless (like so many other frauds that ought to have been buried already), has been attempted to be rehabilitated in the late 20c.


"I started out in silence and traveled until I arrived at a voice that was heard far away—first the silent voice that can only be read, and then I was asked to speak aloud and to read aloud. When I began to read aloud another voice, once I hardly recognized, emerged from my mouth."
