That was awesome. I wish I was understood half of those undertones, but the story was fresh and somehow sexy in a bizarre, sociopathic, way. Thank you for sharing that gnosis :)
It was mostly just name dropping “intellectual” people/books/periodicals for effect... the specific references didn’t really affect the story, or have any particular significance. (Still fun though.)
I think the point was to be pretentious to the point of irony, which the namedropping achieved.
Yes. My point was only that not knowing the names so dropped doesn’t actually diminish the story, because they didn’t really have any deeper significance.
