“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.”
-- Rolande Barthes

I find it … gratifyingly bizarre. Like contemporary poets, the Pythons were experimenting, frequently failing, sometimes coming out with moments of genius. This clip seems to show that aspect of their work in an unvarnished way, somehow.

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
