dear anyone who has read Pulphead by John Jeremiah Sullivan

kelsfjord:

I very very much want to discuss that second-to-last essay, “Violence of the Lambs.”

Or, at least, share a mental fistbump over how awesome its ending was.

It’s online in full, here. But oh god, that image. They went very literal with that.

Cheers for the link - that was a good read. Not sure what to make of it all. Love the last two paragraphs - his ranting on the fourth page reminds me a lot of Werner Herzog’s monologue at the end of Encounters At The End Of The World (which I would actually suggest watching under any circumstances because it’s fantastic, but it does also have some relevance to the article). In fact I bet Herzog would love this whole theory.
