“[Susan] Sontag talks about how when people see terrible things happen, they used to say it felt like a dream, but now they say it feels like a movie. Movies have supplanted dreams in the popular consciousness, and have become our benchmark for the unreal, and the almost real.”
— p. 208 Boy Parts, Eliza Clark

“You see, then, how quick it was. And it is impossible to slow down this film, to examine individual frames…A barrage of frightened crows explodes from the underbrush…Cut to Henry, stepping back from the edge. Then the film flaps up in the projector and the screen goes black. Consummatum est.”
— p. 310, The Secret History

Hello there! I'm a huge fan of both the book and the film and also immensely fascinated by Herodotus and his histories. Is there any change you'd like to sell this scrapbook of Herodotus (if you have it of course) and if yes, what price would you like to set for it? Thank you.
Hi! I'm so glad you're a fan of both! (@saltycomputerpainter-blog is referring to The English Patient, which prominently features Herodotus in the narrative as an intertext to the action.) Unfortunately, there's pretty much no way I'll sell my Herodotus scrapbook. But stay tuned to my Tumblr and my IG, though, as it'll be featured in posts for years to come.

HELP
this is driving me insane and none of my searches are showing up with anything. can someone tell me of there's a word for things outside the main body of a text which relate to the text? maybe it's paratextual, but I'm not sure. like the outside stuff which aren't directly related to the text but can't be separated from its context?
I know they've mentioned the word on the podcast witch please before a few times
