this book aphasia i started and stopped to finish another book i started again where i left off forgetting the beginning and thinking it may not matter i may not finish anyway eager to start red comet partly because it's so giant and i wonder what aphasia means i have a vague idea it's about not being able to speak but i didn't recall from brain damage and then i wonder if the narrator of his own story has aphasia and the book is all in his head unable to speak yet transcribed by the percipient author though it may be nothing like that, it may just be because it's his first book in english but why don't you just read it and then say, you might say. oh. ok.
