From the Belgian artist of the March 25 New Yorker cover —
“There comes a time when the learner has identified
the abstract content of a number of different games
and is practically crying out for some sort of picture
by means of which to represent that which has been
gleaned as the common core of the various activities.”

"This is the worst trip I've ever been on"
That song was played at the end of the TV series
"The Resort," which concluded today.
The Peacock series "The Resort" yesterday presented its concept
of "a room outside of time" (the Pasaje ) as a hole in the ground.
Season 1 of "The Resort" will end as "The Lord of the Rings:
The Rings of Power" begins.
For seekers of the Pasaje — "The Room Outside of Time" —
"The Vision is of what the transliteration of their collaborative
Great Music into a material reality would be like. They are
shown that the Music has a point, has a result and effect
beyond its composition and singing: it amounts to no less
than a highly detailed template commensurate with the entire
history – beginning to end – of a material, 'physical' Universe
that could exist inside 'time'."

From a review of "The Resort" at another website —
"The phrase 'The attempt to recall your past
is a waste of time' is repeated throughout the series."
A waste of time? … Perhaps. In "The Resort," Milioti is drawn
into an investigation of fictional events from December 2007.
A check of my own memories from that December
may or may not be a waste of time, but it yields a
page from a book that I fondly recall . . .
