I love how this text embraces boredom, repetition and being unoriginal and manages to present them as something totally fascinating - "unboring boredom", as he calls it.
This text also has a special place in my heart as it was the first one to introduce me to more experimetal and conceptual writing and totally opened up my mind about what texts can contain and how they should/could be read:
"In the same vein, as I said before, I don't expect you to even read my
books cover to cover. It's for that reason I like the idea that you can
know each of my books in one sentence. For instance, there's the book of
every word I spoke for a week unedited. Or the book of every move my body
made over the course of a day, a process so dry and tedious that I had to
get drunk halfway though the day in order to make it to the end. Or my
most recent book, Day, in which I retyped a day's copy of the New
York
Times and published it as a 900 page book. Now you know what I do
without
ever having to have read a word of it."
