A Memeory of WarPart of this I already quoted, but here's the whole post. Not only does he include two more absurd portmanteaus ("mothertalk," "prisonfleshes"), he continues writing about the soldier "LeClaire," previously seen being ordered to shoot a child, and now apparently having gotten his "dick blown off," just like Jake from The Sun Also Rises. Not only is he a bad writer, but he seems to mix real life memoir and complete fantasy without bothering to distinguish between them. I can't claim I know his intent here was to lie to his readers, or he thought his readers knew this was chiefly fiction, but he certainly doesn't alert readers to his curious style of mixing realfacts with shadowfictions, prisonreality with balloonanimalpoesyfakenotions. It's also interesting that his ambition is not to be a journalist nor, of course, a soldier, but an author of war fiction. Via Sinistar, who should be credited for having found a lot of these posts before most people did. Wednesday, April 26, 2006 "Memeory." Yeah, his spelling is atrocious, but I'm pretty sure he meant to do that. Dreamdeception? Or Jesterjoke? I don't know about this one. Decide for yourselves. I think this is ambiguous because it can be argued (and no one can disprove that argument) that this was intended as a joke. I know that I've said all sorts of things on this blog that I thought were absurd enough that people would get that I was joking, but every once in a while I don't make the absurdity clear enough and people ask, "Is that true? Really?" On the other hand: This does sort of reinforce the pattern of his blog, and maybe of his Baghdad "Diaries," of mixing three true facts with one entirely invented one and providing no guidance to a reader as to what's real and what's simply bullshit (or should I say, a "liemagination"). Here, the stuff about his travel in Germany is true, as is, I assume, the thing about having a girlfriend. But then there's the picture, which is proven conclusively to not, in fact, be his girlfriend at all, but rather a female blogger whose picture he found in the internets. I dunno. I wish Dr. Helen were willing to provide a completely unethical and uninformed psychological profile based on some blogposts, but I'm sure she won't. Thanks to Larwyn for that. | Recent Comments
