Noé: the solution after History shut off reality from the desire of marrying the World-Mother. The book is the “ark” where this vertiginous loss can be savored without dying—thus indirectly—and which is therefore given the attributes of the real world: labyrinthine, open, and diluvial. The writer is a “miser” by refusing “pure loss” and out of disdain for the lures that society proffers to desire. Yet isn’t the only vertigo found in the blank page, the only reality onto which the ark-porch of the book opens?
