00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520 align:middle line:90%
OK, one last thing.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.850 align:middle line:84%
I'll read a little bit
from this book, which

00:00:05.850 --> 00:00:09.330 align:middle line:84%
is called "Nothing
Fictional That the Accuracy

00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:13.650 align:middle line:84%
or Arrangement
She" which I think

00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:17.670 align:middle line:84%
is a pretty accurate
description of what the book is.

00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:23.940 align:middle line:84%
I wanted to catalog and
document women in France.

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:25.620 align:middle line:84%
I wrote this entire
book in France.

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:31.170 align:middle line:84%
And they are all women that
I have known or not known.

00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:34.860 align:middle line:90%
But everything is true.

00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:37.920 align:middle line:84%
All right, I'll read a
few pieces from there.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.640 align:middle line:84%
Nothing fictional but the
accuracy or arrangement she.

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.640 align:middle line:84%
Is not responsible
for, not entitled

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.850 align:middle line:90%
to it, love, catastrophe.

00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:50.660 align:middle line:90%


00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:54.530 align:middle line:84%
Makes music by way of an
accidental foot to wine glass

00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:56.690 align:middle line:90%
to floor in a gentle he.

00:00:56.690 --> 00:00:59.540 align:middle line:84%
A sparkle of shatter
and nothing, no nothing,

00:00:59.540 --> 00:01:04.760 align:middle line:84%
is ever soundproof for long,
if ever, if ever desired.

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.700 align:middle line:84%
Waters plants and
doesn't water plants.

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:12.800 align:middle line:84%
And the difference conflict,
silence, breaking, ship, ocean,

00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:15.440 align:middle line:84%
bodies of, and
people, real people,

00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.710 align:middle line:90%
and their respective waters.

00:01:18.710 --> 00:01:20.930 align:middle line:84%
Celebrates the
birthdays of loved ones

00:01:20.930 --> 00:01:23.270 align:middle line:90%
with or without their presence.

00:01:23.270 --> 00:01:25.670 align:middle line:84%
A nice dinner
champagne, toast, cake,

00:01:25.670 --> 00:01:28.820 align:middle line:84%
all of it with friends, family,
and whatever such characters,

00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:30.140 align:middle line:90%
whoever is on hand.

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:31.850 align:middle line:90%
Nice if you could join us too.

00:01:31.850 --> 00:01:34.690 align:middle line:90%


00:01:34.690 --> 00:01:37.780 align:middle line:84%
Gets forced into a
narrowing situation

00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:42.130 align:middle line:84%
outside the wrong house
in a thus narrow outside

00:01:42.130 --> 00:01:47.610 align:middle line:84%
laughs uncomfortably as a
cheap means of breathing.

00:01:47.610 --> 00:01:51.990 align:middle line:84%
Wakes up immediately, leaning
for a question, not unusual,

00:01:51.990 --> 00:01:55.800 align:middle line:84%
getting to be as if it could
be talked about in angles,

00:01:55.800 --> 00:02:00.300 align:middle line:84%
as if talking about it
was related to progress.

00:02:00.300 --> 00:02:03.720 align:middle line:84%
Smokes rapidly as
a nod to exercise.

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.610 align:middle line:90%


00:02:07.610 --> 00:02:09.860 align:middle line:84%
Associates some
people with holidays.

00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:12.890 align:middle line:84%
Man of the 4th,
Cinco de Mayo girl.

00:02:12.890 --> 00:02:14.990 align:middle line:84%
But for the most
part something else

00:02:14.990 --> 00:02:17.450 align:middle line:84%
due to the content of
their conversation.

00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:20.720 align:middle line:84%
And nothing more than a
personal unadmitted awareness

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:23.960 align:middle line:84%
of a small fleeting or
possibly fleeting fact,

00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.030 align:middle line:84%
proposed over several
hours too many

00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:28.880 align:middle line:84%
have talked about film
and culture and sculpture

00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:31.070 align:middle line:84%
and not jazz but
Baroque and then pause

00:02:31.070 --> 00:02:33.230 align:middle line:90%
to remember, yes, you.

00:02:33.230 --> 00:02:35.480 align:middle line:84%
That anyone ever
talking about art

00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:38.480 align:middle line:84%
is more or less talking about
their own person and then

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:40.610 align:middle line:84%
once this is so,
then a convenient way

00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:43.490 align:middle line:84%
to get to know someone without
their explicit knowledge.

00:02:43.490 --> 00:02:48.980 align:middle line:90%


00:02:48.980 --> 00:02:51.110 align:middle line:90%
Can never find the right match.

00:02:51.110 --> 00:02:54.890 align:middle line:84%
Lights her cigarette on the hot
water heater, the gas stove,

00:02:54.890 --> 00:02:57.620 align:middle line:84%
the broiler, a stick
in someone's mouth.

00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:59.195 align:middle line:90%
Lights everything this way.

00:02:59.195 --> 00:03:01.730 align:middle line:90%


00:03:01.730 --> 00:03:05.450 align:middle line:84%
Steps insincerely out
onto the false balcony,

00:03:05.450 --> 00:03:08.060 align:middle line:90%
albeit a genuine need for air.

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:12.200 align:middle line:84%
Party huddling behind her back,
formulaic exchanges slipping

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:15.290 align:middle line:84%
under the floorboards,
meant to be astonished,

00:03:15.290 --> 00:03:19.160 align:middle line:84%
meant to be flattered,
desperately inhaling deeply

00:03:19.160 --> 00:03:21.710 align:middle line:90%
via a cigarette.

00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:25.190 align:middle line:84%
Eats potato chip crumbs off
the floor with an emphasis

00:03:25.190 --> 00:03:28.040 align:middle line:84%
at times on eating
the chip, at times

00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:29.360 align:middle line:90%
on keeping the floor clean.

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.740 align:middle line:90%


00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:36.550 align:middle line:84%
Participates willingly in an
eating contest against a man

00:03:36.550 --> 00:03:38.980 align:middle line:90%
quite large for her size.

00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:41.770 align:middle line:84%
At the crux of a contest,
whispers through her

00:03:41.770 --> 00:03:45.730 align:middle line:84%
left shoulder that she couldn't
possibly eat another bite.

00:03:45.730 --> 00:03:48.620 align:middle line:84%
This is not what is repeated
into the rest of the crowd,

00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:50.140 align:middle line:90%
including the opponent.

00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:53.530 align:middle line:84%
And how it is always
often the breach

00:03:53.530 --> 00:03:59.000 align:middle line:84%
between the game that is played
and the game that is won.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.810 align:middle line:84%
Swallows a bird until
she's too short.

00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:06.620 align:middle line:84%
Lies down to sleep, missing
some limbs, not her own.

00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:09.810 align:middle line:90%


00:04:09.810 --> 00:04:13.740 align:middle line:90%
Fakes a residual longing.

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:16.829 align:middle line:84%
Pushes her hair back
with someone else's hand.

00:04:16.829 --> 00:04:22.040 align:middle line:84%
Different uses of force or
waiting for what to blow.

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.010 align:middle line:84%
Eats at a fantastic
speed, then moving right

00:04:25.010 --> 00:04:27.470 align:middle line:84%
on to the next medium
of consumption.

00:04:27.470 --> 00:04:31.190 align:middle line:90%


00:04:31.190 --> 00:04:34.490 align:middle line:84%
Each day decides upon which
of the familiar sounds

00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:38.390 align:middle line:84%
to continue taking for granted,
which to appreciate anew

00:04:38.390 --> 00:04:42.530 align:middle line:84%
this time, which to
accommodate mildly, tepidly,

00:04:42.530 --> 00:04:44.060 align:middle line:90%
which to temper when.

00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:49.630 align:middle line:90%


00:04:49.630 --> 00:04:52.000 align:middle line:84%
Incorrectly keeps
looking at someone's face

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.450 align:middle line:84%
with a feeling of familiarity,
while the true point of memory

00:04:55.450 --> 00:04:58.570 align:middle line:84%
hovers in the voice,
or even afterwards

00:04:58.570 --> 00:05:01.360 align:middle line:84%
the same voice or
rather the same timbre

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.825 align:middle line:84%
or rather range of pitch and
the breaks in your voice as.

00:05:04.825 --> 00:05:09.450 align:middle line:90%


00:05:09.450 --> 00:05:13.110 align:middle line:84%
Falling prey to assumptions
based on holiday traditions.

00:05:13.110 --> 00:05:16.560 align:middle line:84%
Eats the best turkey
ever, ever in her life

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.700 align:middle line:90%
in the form of a chicken.

00:05:17.700 --> 00:05:23.830 align:middle line:90%


00:05:23.830 --> 00:05:26.140 align:middle line:84%
On the brink of
giving up on heat,

00:05:26.140 --> 00:05:31.330 align:middle line:84%
one big last ditch, to eat for
warmth, to bathe for warmth,

00:05:31.330 --> 00:05:35.740 align:middle line:84%
to walk for warmth, make love,
find love in spite of itself

00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:41.260 align:middle line:84%
for warmth, then keeps a
catalog of forgettable sounds

00:05:41.260 --> 00:05:43.930 align:middle line:90%
and interminable documentary.

00:05:43.930 --> 00:05:46.450 align:middle line:84%
As if to forget
anything completely

00:05:46.450 --> 00:05:49.120 align:middle line:90%
was impossible to desire.

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.860 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:52.710 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]
