Doug, many thanks. Michael Ondaatje was the first name that came into my
head and then my memory went blank and I assumed I was wrong. Good! Now
the connections work.

Fallon's Working Hot and also Fiesta Carrera's Charnel Knowledge, in
prose, which is perhaps what happens when lesbian feminism becomes
extreme fictions. It often passes through my thinking that what sustains
extreme fictions is the way in which fictions such as Burrough's Wild
Boys remains unread except as isolated quotes from which the moral
imperative demands literature again be a moral technology as if Terry
Eagleton had never written on english studies as a moral technology.
Reading also Badiou's regressive philosophy has me thinking more about
this, also.
PS. Fiesta Carrera's degree is in mathematics.
