6/5

G Stein wrote The Making of Americans 1903-11
i haven’t read it

what is readable — i need to read it

the time scale seems wrong — before Joyce

“the first major modern experimental novel in English”

what was written in any language before that — make a time line

moving things around — looking at books

i need to stop doing nothing — can i just sit down and do an art work

no
why
why not
why do it
why bother
why not

a simple web page

i could just copy a few pages from my notebooks — there is something holding that back —

maybe just a feeling of futility

<12/18/22 not a feeling — a reality
the reality of futility>
