To be clear, this is the
we’re talking about — author of Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonders (1995), Vermeer in Bosnia (2004), True to Life: Twenty-Five Years of Conversations with David Hockney (2008), And How Are You, Dr. Sacks? A Biographical Memoir of Oliver Sacks (2019), the supremely enigmatic A Trove of Zohars (2023), etc., etc. Weschler is also author of the wonderful Wondercabinet on Substack, to which you should all subscribe. And incidentally he is a great friend and fellow-traveller of The Hinternet.We will be discussing, but not limiting ourselves to, sundry questions related to JSR’s recent essay, “The Moon Makes Us Human”. (Lire en français.) Read it, and join us tomorrow well prepared to throw us a question or two.
And please don’t forget to subscribe to The Hinternet! We need your support! This engine of edification runs not on air!
And then:
Hi! Thank you both for the conversation! As the call was coming to a close I was furiously trying to type a question. It was going to be something like….
In an attempt to bridge your work (LW’s around perception), can you two say something about what the nature of seeing might have been like during this early time? Was the moon SEEN? You discussed moving a candle over a cave painting to make it move and come alive, and perhaps this was like a film. In that case was this WATCHED? Or, in a drug induced state, maybe more embodied?
