Thirty-Third Series of Alice's Adventures

This chapter is largely an application of theories previously explicated in LOS.

Page 237: On the author as symptomatologist and the "art" of symptomatology.

On the method of the New Pioneer: "To extract the non-actualizable part of the pure event from symptoms, (or as Blanchot says, to raise the visible to the invisible), to raise everyday actions and passions (like eating, shitting, loving, speaking, or dying) to their noematic attribute...-- this is the object of the novel as a work of art." (238)

Explain in what sense the artist is patient, doctor, and pervert. (238)
