Da Vinci's Bicycle Book

The long centerpiece story "Au Tombeau de Charles Fourier" is some serious next-level shit. Written in five line bursts, it's a visionary hopscotch that encompasses Dogon rituals, early Modernist icons, DaVinci's workshop, nature worship, and Charles Fourier's ideas on how to structure society. Imagine David Markson's author tetralogy mixed with The Golden Bough and you're partway there. It's filled with gorgeously strange images and turns of phrase, plus an oddball sense of humor. The other shorter pieces in the book have struck me as knottier and less satisfying, so I'm going to let "Au Tombeau" continue to simmer in my mind and return to finish this later.
