Description
What Can I Say? continues from Charles Noble’s earlier book Mack the Naïf, and probes politico-historical phenomena as well as everydayness in varous contexts even up to a kind of unstoppable and stupefying regress but stopped in due course, nevertheless! What, the title, invokes and questions the capacity to speak, asks what is expressible as well as points to what a certain existentialist called ontological guilt, the ornery (from ‘ordinary’) guilt of being a choice-besotted, a choice-encumbered space-time occupier.
