The Turn of the Frame
"With respect to the story's content, the frame thus acts
both as an inclusion of the exterior and as an exclusion
of the interior: it is a perturbation of the outside at the
very core of the story's inside, and as such, it is a blurring
of the very difference between inside and outside."

"Turning the Screw of Interpretation,"

February 11 Note
"The story’s origin is therefore situated, it would seem, in
a forgetting of its origin: to tell the story’s origin is to tell
the story of that origin’s obliteration."
