A Windy Day, The Terrible Screaming, The Mythmaker's Office,
The Daylight and the Dust,...
Session 21st of October
“A Windy Day” posed discussion as a transitional wind that may herald spring time, a gust of wind of childhood memories, or an alienating wind that may drive one insane. The idea of rite a passage was also suggested. The textured fabric of the sky where the capricious wind pirouettes captured our eye with its ruffles, and satin.
The fable-like quality of Frame’s short stories was also highlighted as a way of articulating the disturbing signified of some signifiers. “Death” should be eradicated as a word from the realm of “word-om” as stated in “The Mythmaker’s Office.”
“The
Terrible Screaming” finds its voice in “Silence” as the story points. Unheard, and yet inside, the terrible scream overlaps the unrippled surface of unquestioned officialdom.
The fable-like quality of Frame's short stories can be seen in "the daylight and the Dust" there's no moral lesson, though, just a reflection. Both of them fit together and travel to the remotest places... Together.
