Typepad will soon be closed permanently, which means this blog - and the other blogs that I run from Typepad, one for each of my recent novels - will also end. I will move all the content somewhere else, if I can. Details to come.

Quotes by Lars Iyer  (?)

“Ede says we should post some demotivational phrases on our Facebook pages. I can’t therefore I am. To be is to be condemned. The universe is a mistake. Hope is a kind of delirium. We don’t live even once. Dead days outnumber live ones. The use of philosophy is to sadden. Existence has never answered our questions. Death is the least of our problems.”
― Lars Iyer, Wittgenstein Jr

“As we look out to sea, a great shadow seems to move under the water. He can see it, says W. - 'Look: the kraken of your idiocy'. Yes, there it is, moving darkly beneath the water.”
