In argument similies are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing - Franz Kafka
... they do not know that they seek only the chase and not the quarry - Blaise Pascal

A Sport of Nature- Nadine Gordimer
The Counterlife - Philip Roth
The Monkey's Wrench - Primo Levi
Ironweed - William Kennedy
The Comedians - Graham Greene
The Book and the Brotherhood - Iris Murdoch
Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon
Fifth Business - Robertson Davies

The Queen of Sheba
The little monster is becoming disturbingly like me. She bit me today. I was so shocked I instantly whacked her. But then later I realised my arm was coming at her in a way that may have seemed threatening. Maybe she just wanted to nip me just for the act. I don’t know but I was extremely mad then. Now she’s again sleeping in my lap, stretching like the Queen of Sheba. She has her pet trained well.
I’ve also been informed by a number of people that her father who’s the only cat who doesn’t attack her is not doing so because of any paternal feelings. To him she is an available albeit young female. No fucking way am I going to let that happen. She can fuck around all she wants (yes Listo I have made my peace with that) but no fucking way is incest happening. I don’t want retarded weak inbred kittens. Ugh. I’ll fucking buy a male cat if I have to. Ugh. There’s probably nothing that I can do. Ugh.
