“Showing rather than telling, as children know, even if we belong to the liars’ club, is a far more effective way of demonstrating that facts should never get in the way of a good story. But a really good story dismantles even the showing. It disappears into the unconscious and hypnotises linear time. And when anything is timeless, truth appears as experience.” - Brian Castro, p 24 of A2 in The Age, Saturday 30th

Emotional design - Donald Norman
Franz Kafka - The Metamorphosis (and many
Jean-Paul Sartre - No Exit
Haruki Murakami
Schopenhauer
Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity, and
The book of Laughter and Forgetting – Milan Kundera
