Impossible Books. "1. The semicolon as a dream, a space of imagination, connects an impossible love on the ground to a possible love underground..." "...The gap or connecting link that the semicolon creates in the text is a chance for expanding and building imagination further, thinking differently..." "2. I have identified the turning point in the story - the moment before a catastrophe takes place - and here..." "...I have interevened, added my own text expanding this moment delaying the inevitable clash and crash. ..." "... A semicolon is added to the existing text; a space is created, a space in which another voice speaks." "3. A moment might be a turning point in a story, an instance where an alternative space of labour could be imagined and projected..." "A lawyer is indirectly forced to move out of a property and a movement is created, a vacancy that Bartleby the Scrivener inhabits..." "...This vacancy creates a chance for an alternative trajectory to emerge..." "...Bartleby, Melville's gloomy protagonist, written now as an anarchist and revolutionary."
