Take A Pill,
By
This review is from: The French Exit (Paperback)
This book is haunting in a good way, if that's possible. The concepts of reality, future, the moment, death & exiting are all common. Between tennis matches, no one knows what exactly happens, what is reality, what is dream, what is death? Gabbert's wordings are often blunt, but the point of the text reiterates itself like the concept of the "I" ego or even language's association: will clouds still be "clouds" etc. when the narrator is sleeping etc.? Taking cues from Sarte & Kafka, meaning becomes of importance to the narrator, & sleeping seems to be the most evocative image, as in dreaming when awake or asleep? People seem to pass like clouds in & out of the text, but what remains is narration & a stab taken at reality's unique way or even taking a pill to enter the doors of perception which flop open "like a night on film."
