'I once wrote, "I am not able to find my thoughts without passing through his [Jalal Toufic's] words, books, and concepts." Now, eight years later, things seem to have gotten worse (or better). Jalal wrote in Distracted:
— Are you saying this to me?
— Also to myself. One should speak solely when also speaking to oneself. Only then is there a dialogue.
I can also think of the following situation:
— Are you saying this to me?
— Yes. And not to myself. And only to you.
Or an instance in which the following is heard:
— Are you saying this to me?
— Also to myself. One should speak solely when also speaking to oneself. Only then is there a duologue.' — Walid Raad, from the back cover.
