|
|

As I wrote in 2008 about the earlier work: Sullivan understands that the paradoxes she has put into play can only be apprehended through the suspension of reason, and so, like David Lynch in Eraserhead or his recent three-hour masterwork, Inland Empire, she removes the assurances of a contextualizing storyline and plunges us into a world of primitive and irrational sensations.
|
|
Opinion Columnist One of the many paradoxes of the Trump era is that our unusual president couldn't have been elected, and couldn't survive politically today, without the support of religious conservatives … but at the same time his ascent was intimately connected to the secularization of conservatism, and his style gives us a taste of what to expect from a post-religious right.

Children's Books Of the many strange paradoxes that bedevil our tween years — years that most of us would never, ever wish to relive — few perplex more thoroughly than the tension between wanting to be a confident, competent, standout individual, while at the same time yearning with a desire almost beyond expression to be accepted into a community, a group, a team, a club, a clique — anything.
|
|
The late, great philosopher David Kellogg Lewis explained this well in his 1976 paper "The Paradoxes of Time Travel": If Tim did not kill Grandfather in the "original" 1921, then if he does kill Grandfather in the "new" 1921, he must both kill and not kill Grandfather in 1921—in the one and only 18893, which is both the "new" and the "original" 1921.

There's nothing approaching a "Council of Elrond" episode in Jason Dessen's thicket of multiple-universe paradoxes, and such explication as we get generally arrives in the plot interstices between moments when Jason watches someone he loves get shot in the head, or faces death by freezing and starvation in a post-apocalyptic Chicago, or fends off wolves in a version of North America that has reverted to wilderness.

|
|
We all figured that someone who so resolutely followed the path he cleared for himself, leaving gleaming paradoxes and thundering guitar riffs in his wake, had to be in on some universal secret, some as-yet-unknowable key to finding harmony in discord, illumination in darkness, constancy in chaos, something that, when you put all the craziness together, came close to that truth my fan friend talked about more than 30 years ago.
|
|
One of the great paradoxes of America is that we could be a country that elected its first black president, one whose term saw, yes, a radically more expansive understanding of what it means to be human, but also one of the worst school shootings in our history, a mass shooting at a gay nightclub and multiple murders of unarmed black boys and men, shot because of who they were, not what they did.
