Jeremy sent me this email today about a conversation we had yesterday:
*********
You like coincidences
Maybe this isn't exactly a coincidence, but a semi-interesting interconnection, anyway:
1) We talk about Synecdoche, NY.
2) This leads me to talk about Infinite Jest (in terms of understanding complex material).
3) You mention the DFW article you were reading before I even mentioned Infinite Jest.
4) The DFW article features ads for the Synecdoche, NY dvd.
5) Unrelated, I mention that (after finishing InfJest) I've begun reading "In the Skin of a Lion" by Michael Ondaatje (which my mom just happened to give me, apropos of nothing at all).
6) Ondaatje also wrote "The English Patient," as you mentioned, which I didn't know.
7) In the DFW interview with Charlie Rose, Wallace talks breifly about The English Patient and Ondaatje's poetry.
Interesting? Maybe. Maybe not. But true. This much I know.
**************
This email reminded me I never posted the updated coincidence chart I was going to post probably about a year ago now. It's pretty damn big, but as soon as I make it presentable and legible, I'll post that (with this most recent coincidence pointed out to me by Jeremy included in the updated version of the chart).
And to close here's another post-it note/phone/doing something else sketch.
