Just finished
this little baby. Not bad. Not bad at all.
A spattering of my favorite moments:
"Cronenberg's film and Burrough's own writing position a spousal murder at the moment where authorship begins" (121)
"The typists, however, remained invisible [...] paid [...] not so much for producing a text as for not signing the ones that they did produce" (97).
"the typewriter [...] moulded women workers into a form amenable to the needs of the corporate environment" (88)
"the sheer amount of text that modern business methods required in order to function, however, was about to change everything" (86)
"the device [typewriter] is a prosthethis designed to convey truth [..] between two different sorts of blind subjects" [46]
