"Shawn’s characters ponder the preprogrammed compulsions
to fall in and out of love, to be overwhelmed by and then lose
all desire,
'to use the tiny, pitiful words that the creature uses
to point to invisible parts of itself, invisible parts
that grow so vast that they turn us inside out and
then swallow us up and eat us.' "

A less "tiny, pitiful" word . . . "inscape" in this journal.
