In order for the art to exist, it depends completely on whether anyone decides to go in. If no one goes in, does the art exist?" Gotcha, yeah that is a cool question. I was getting caught up in the actualities of rape and murder. I watched it again last night and see more of where you're coming from. Apologies for the righteous indignation. I "get" this whole thing better now. “Let’s call it a kissing tunnel, where everyone who goes in gets a kiss on the cheek.

when i read a story, i’m at once in and outside of my body. bobby alter wants a story which “demands reader response,” but wouldn’t you say that i, as a reader, am always responding to the story as soon as i agree to play by its rules or something? isn’t my “physical reality” always violated in the reading of a story, insofar as i am taken somewhat out of it and commanded to collaborate with the “physical reality” of the story at hand?

i guess what i’m trying to say is: if throwing around the word “rape” stimulates aesthetic conversation, then so does reading and discussing “the harvest”–perhaps more, because it is simply a better story.
