It would have been better, but the program crashed on me while making it and I had to start over from scratch. Oh well. Good way to kill some time.
There is a great difference between an alienated commuter riding a train and this same commuter reading a book about an alienated commuter riding a train...The nonreading commuter exists in true alienation, which is unspeakable; the reading commuter rejoices in the speakability of his alienation and in the new triple alliance of himself, the alienated character, and the author. His mood is affirmatory and glad: Yes! that is how it is!--which is an aesthetic reversal of alienation. -Walker Percy
