Reading the LRB review of Bill Brown I just posted, I scribbled TIME PASSES in the margin next to the graf about how literature can redeem the material world from commodity fetishization. It's a reference to a famous passage from VW's To the Lighthouse. Crawling slowly, for I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, I come to the end of the graf only to discover that the reviewer is quoting from Brown's above piece on Virginia Woolf and objects.

So without knowing about any of this, I've been thinking about it since the first cataclysmic reading, in about 1968, with my eyes out on stix -- Sous les paves! -- of To the Lighthouse, which is, of course, la plage.
