dangerously self-aware, a parodic number though perhaps not so slyly as a certain other text I'm reading,, in a way Measure dares you to like it. a sadistic comedy , transported to the hobbesian world

this is really banal but it just reads so well , so airy , maybe I just feel spoiled bc I've been trying to scan big chunky proust sentences
