“I have more fun writing in books than I do writing books.”

“Joyce’s Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man”
[McLuhan, Newsweek, page 56, Feb.28, 1966]

“Most of my writing is Menippean satire, presenting the actual surface of the world we live in as a ludicrous image.”

” So long as I am violently disapproved of, “I am on the right course.” ”

“playfully trangressive, subversive and complexly disingenuous …”

“I have no theories whatever about anything. I make observations by way of discovering contours, lines of force and pressures. I satirize at all times…”

“prose poet manque : his primary game” – Theall

“I don’t know what is inside (the vault); maybe it’s nothing. I just sit and start to work. I grope, I listen, I test, I accept and discard; I try out different sequences – until the tumblers fall and the door springs open.”

“My approach to media is metaphysical rather than sociological or dialectical … I get such great joy from contemplating the forms of culture … the language of forms is a source of perpetual joy and discovery that is quite inexhaustible … I am a metaphysician, interested in the life of the forms and their surprising modalities.”

“My approach to the media is never from a point of view but is in fact a ‘swarming’ “…

“My canvasses are surrealist, and to call them “theories” is to miss my satirical intent altogether.”
