One of AdornoвЂ™s aphorisms: every work of art is an uncommitted crime. They like to know IвЂ™m there.ДЇor everyone else, the best thing I can do is be somewhere else. Herzog was wrong, and chickens are not stupid. But theyвЂ™ll glance, sometimes, with dark gentle eyes. TheyвЂ™re wonderful birds they bounce and cluck and follow me around the garden on their stubby little legs, and then once theyвЂ™ve raced down to where IвЂ™m sitting theyвЂ™ll peck at the dirt a short distance away, cooing happily, pretending not to notice me. I have some hens I can visit without the risk of contaminating anyone. I donвЂ™t know when IвЂ™ll get to see her again.

Well done, babe, she says, her voice full of enthusiasm and serenity and distance. Being queer, I say, is when youвЂ™re either a gay man or a straight woman. Because IвЂ™m a dickhead, I spend a decent chunk of my time coming up with annoying little try-hard troll-statements to get a rise out of her.

Can you see me? Can you hear me? I can hear you but I canвЂ™t see you. Distance and delay seep into the stuff of the world.

( When we come out of this thing is already in mythic time now, like when Judgement Day arrives or when the revolution comes.) But things wonвЂ™t ever be the same reality is already mutating while our backs are turned. It might still return, when we come out of this thing. It belongs to the old world, the one of seeing and being seen, before the war. You can probably see the problem: it might be fun to swan around an empty home in something expensive for a day or two, but nobody really needs couture during a plague. A vast pause descends on the world, and the future disintegrates. If you donвЂ™t want other people to die вЂ“ and I donвЂ™t вЂ“ the only thing to do is to stay inside. The coronavirus puts everything in abeyance. Now? The catastrophe we were all waiting for has finally arrived, and itвЂ™s another wait. I can do my day-job from basically anywhere there was nothing really stopping me from jetting off across the Atlantic to sprawl around her apartment for a few weeks and develop strange obsessive new opinions about pizza. A few months ago, this wasnвЂ™t really much of a problem. If youвЂ™re like me, you might have suspected, for a very long time, that we were going about our lives in the blank empty period before the war.

Games, pinafores, girl friends, a black alley kitten with white little feet, holidays all the family by the sea, brine, frying fish, donkey rides, peach taffeta, a boy named RobinвЂ¦ It barely exists. What did it feel like to live in a world that wasnвЂ™t always exploding? Flashes of small incidence. Nothing happened.вЂќ Jessica doesnвЂ™t want to know about the events that came before the war, the abdication, the fashion, the politics, but something stranger and harder to grasp. вЂњWhat was it like? Before the war?вЂќ She knows she was alive then, a child, but itвЂ™s not what she means. TheyвЂ™re books about being stuck.Д®arly in PynchonвЂ™s GravityвЂ™s Rainbow, Jessica asks a question. TheyвЂ™re stories about waiting, about watching, about deferral and delay, about abeyance, about being somewhere else, at a distance, at a remove.
