Flickering Frequency - Russell Hoban
Another extract from Russell Hoban's Medusa Frequency:
'It doesn't matter, it's the flickering that gives the excitement. Being is not a steady state but an occulting one: we are all of us a succession of stillnesses blurring into motion with the revolving of the wheel of action, and it is in those spaces of black between the pictures that we experience the heart of the mystery in which we are never allowed to rest. The flickering of a film interrupts the intolerable continuity of apparent world; subliminally it gives us those in-between spaces of black that we crave. The eye is hungry for this; eagerly it collaborates with the unwinding strip of celluloid that shows it twenty-four pictures per second, making real by an act of retinal retention the here-and-gone, the continual disappearing in which the lovers kiss, the shots are fired, the horses gallop.'

Page One? - Russell Hoban
The 4th of February 2013, which would have been author Russell Hoban's 88th birthday. As every year, we celebrate his work with the SA4QE event - quoting and sharing his work. Here is the 1st of two extracts I'm going to post from his novel Medusa Frequency:
Page one? I didn't think so. Suddenly the idea of turning one's experience into a story seemed not only bizarre but perverted; the idea of such a thing as page one seemed at the very least a monstrous vanity. Where was the beginning of anything, how could I draw a line through endless cause and effect and say, "Here is page one"? Well of course either one was a story teller or one wasn't, and it looked as if I wasn't - all I could do was was describe phenomena as I experienced them. I looked at the two sentences on my page one attempt until the telephone rang and it was Melanie.
