Agape, hey

The last work of one of the first American postmodernists, “Mr. Complicated” (J. Franzen), a cult author for many generations of writers. The story is in the form of a passionate deathbed monologue of an artist who desperately seeks to complete his book about the history of the mechanical piano, painfully recalling what he has experienced and read. Reading “Agape Ago” is a test and, of course, not everyone is ready for it. You need to read Geddis after Byron, Kierkegaard, Plato, Pascal, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Goethe, Benjamin, Freud, Jung, Heidegger, Tolstoy, Whitman, Emerson, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Kleist… (because otherwise you risk simply not understanding everything that the American postmodernist wanted to say).
