Proof that there are too many people that view the court system as a jackpot waiting to happen.

They clearly figured Southwest would settle and throw a $10,000 or $25,000 bone at them. Southwest said "fuck that", we will happily see you in court.

Sounds like the kind of case Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton would get behind in a heartbeat.

sorry guise, I was busy watching the cinema. I'll have my review of The Harder They Come forthwith.

welcome to the wonderful world of Kobo Abe. Secret Rendezvous is probably Abe's second most 'what the fuck' work of fiction (if you really, really want to get weird, I suggest you check out his final novel, Kangaroo Notebook). I recommended it over his more well-known novel The Woman in the Dunes because I think Secret Rendezvous represents Abe at his existential surrealist peak. What is notable about this book, and about Abe in general, is the focus the author puts---to a point of abstract obsession---on the individual, and the equally vivid sense of detachment and alienation of the individual from society (set in this novel against the backdrop of a nightmarish vision of modern medicine and bureaucracy informed by Abe's own abandoned career as a physician), which is at odds with his contemporary's work (and in a broader sense, the Japanese nationalist ideal of the time it was written). Abe wrote from a point of isolation, confusion, alienation. He was Japanese but grew up in Manchuria, trained to become a doctor, but instead became an extreme leftist writer and playwright. His own isolation from the literary scene of his time and place is obvious in the characters he writes---invariably, all are nonplussed, confused, detached, existential basket cases waiting to emerge from the pack mentality of post-war Japanese society. In Secret Rendezvous, the main character is on a quest to find his wife, seemingly abducted in the night---The Trial-like---and taken to a sprawling, ominous underground hospital that becomes a character in itself. It is self against society/bureaucracy at it's most pointed (and here of course, one may draw numerous parallels to Kafka and his propensity for revealing the inharmonious relationship between the individual, the self, and the 'outside', or the 'establishment'. In short, it is "Kafkaesque". Everything in the novel, then, plays out as an existential probing of what is real and what isn't, all informed by a wild, sometimes absurd sort of 'magical realism' that gives the whole work an added dimension of meaning.

In short, If you've ever felt out of control of your own life, or of the events unfolding around you, or anxiety about the control exerted upon you by the powers that be, Secret Rendezvous is an object lesson in the utter absurdity and ludicrousness that constitutes our 'progressive, modern system' of living. Is progress really 'progress'? Or is it just another source of anxieties and insecurities, alienations and theoretical wanderings....

Any of that make sense?

Yeah... It makes sense... but...

Why do you think the man started caring more about the jelly bone girl than his wife?

Why did he turn away from the Masked Woman?

Why did the secretary turn on the man? because she realized he was smitten with the 13 year old?

What's the significance of "tomorrow news"?

So many questions...

I can't answer all your questions, because it's been a while since I read the book....but from what I can remember, I believe the man started caring more about the jelly bone girl than his wife because the longer he searched for her, the more he realized he didn't know her at all, and in getting further and further drawn into the madness of the hospital and with a longing to hold on to something 'more concrete', he took the girl under his wing, hoping he could save her and make some sense out of the madness around him. Again, what seemed real in the beginning---his wife and her mysterious abduction---took on an all new meaning in the end, to the point he was questioning his own reality, his wife's reality, and the reality of his surroundings. In the end, he is a man alone, dwarfed by the enormity of institution/bureaucracy/society/whatever term fits best, and he is desperate to find meaning in a world that is by any other measure, crazy. Something "more concrete".

this is a put-up job...

Hmmm... I guess I'm going to have to read it AGAIN!

I thought it was really good though... in a depressing way....

if you want more weird, check out Kangaroo Notebook. If you want something a little more grounded in existentialism than surrealism/magical realism, check out The Woman in the Dunes, The Box Man, or The Ruined Map. You can't go wrong with any of them.

Yeah, I was really expecting Rendezvous to be more "weird"... I was digging the whole horse thing... but then it turned out it wasn't a real horse...

I liked the weird cotton and jelly bones diseases... those were weird... the orgasm contest was weird...

all the penis talk was weird...

But it seemed more like a dark science fiction novel... Still good, though...

but it wasn't as weird as that Naked Lunch Movie... That shit was insane..

hatemotor, have you seen The Harder They Come? I just watched it the other night. Really a good movie. Jimmy Cliff was pure adrenaline.

Miz, have you ever been to infinity? That's what I think death is like. I don't think we ever die... It's not possible... our brain speeds up, changing our relation to time. Like an asymptote, we near closer and closer to death, but we never actually get there.

oh man, you're in for a treat ma fren. DOn't you know it was Rolling Stones' "Rocka dn ROll movie" of 1972??? Legendary soundtrack. I'm sure you've seen the poster. Jimmy CLiff with the two six shooters. It really catpuures that sweet spot of Jamaican reggae inbetween the skinhead/early reggae sound and the later roots=rock-reggae sound of the later seventies. You'll dig it.

I've always thought that heroin looked like the king of all drugs

Yeah... probably...

From what I've observed... that's one of the few drugs that will, more likely than not, steal your soul right out from under you... never to be returned...

Meth is runner-up...

Forget drugs that erode you away and steal your soul. Try PCP, one time is enough to fuck you up for life and those unfortunate enough to be near you.
