William Gibson
21 Oct 06
William Gibson’s fragmentary posts have a compelling quality, like pinpoints of light. You sense that there’s a finished work out there somewhere. Characters recur, and elements and themes come together. But there’s always the possibility that the finished work won’t. These fragments don’t stand alone, they insist that there is or will be more. And yet, just as a work of fiction can transport the reader out of themselves, these fragments capture moments that seem to hang with ripeness; like having only a moment to look through a peephole into another world. My favourite, so far, is SERE.
