NET-Speak (The Book Of Gus #5)

________________________________________________________________________________________________


© Oliverio
The text is from
Julian Barnes

The subject of the biography
is Gustave Flaubert

Our BOOK OF GUS
 continues  here.

With no great injury to logic, 
you could define a net as 

A collection of holes 
tied together
with string.

You can do the same 
with a biography:

A trawling net fills, 
then the biographer 
hauls it in, sorts, 
throws back, 
stores, fillets 
and sells.






Mystification is simple.
Clarity is the hardest
thing of all.

      To ruse is simple.
      To unravel every ruse
      is the hardest thing of all.
