Notes for Katz, the Musical
From a memoir published in 1997 —
The author and his friend Katz :
I couldn’t believe it.
— ‘You want to come with me?’
— ‘If it’s a problem, I understand.’
— ‘No,’ I said. ‘No, no, no.
You’re very welcome.
You are extremely welcome.’ “
— A Walk in the Woods , by Bill Bryson.
(Crown, Kindle edition. p. 20.)
From a novel published in 1971 —
“In the bluish light emanating from the TV,
EE looked at him, her eyes veiled. ‘You want me
to come while you watch.’ Chance said nothing.
. . . .
‘I think I understand now.’ She got up,
paced swiftly up and down the room,
crossing in front of the TV screen;
every now and then a word escaped her lips,
a word scarcely louder than her breath.”
— Being There , by Jerzy Kosinski

Dark City . . .
“Dark City is an action movie — and like all good sci-fi movies,
it has aliens in it, too. The aliens have the problem that they
do not possess individual identities or souls, and for that reason,
their race is on the brink of extinction. To prevent this from
happening they perform experiments on the inhabitants of the
city to learn the secret of individuality and to eventually acquire it.
The key ingredient is memory.”
— Chapter 13 of SHELL BEACH: The search for the final theory,
by Jesper Møller Grimstrup, published on January 10, 2021.
“She did not ask herself if the Shorter Way was really there,
did not wonder if she was easing into a delusion.
The issue was settled. Here it was.”
— Joe Hill, NOS4A2 (p. 680). William Morrow, April 30, 2013.
