LA Theory reloaded, exegesis-like

a. The LA Theory is logically and structurally connected to the theory of Tijuana- a little like the hidden face of the planet of the apes is connected with apes triumphant, or like the sublime, cold and impassionate Law is united to its monstrous supplement of naked fury. Besides, LA is monstrous its part (in all of the four 'ecologies' Reynert Banham described)- just see the chapter on 'California noir' in Mike Davis' book on THE CITY, as Edward Soja called it.

b. See later "TIJUANA 2: Michael Hemmingson's "ZONA NORTE" [2008, 215 pp]", and "TIJUANA 3: JJ-180 [Philip K. Dick , "Now wait for last year"]", with its Italian double- and the approach to its background (anthropological, not just geographical) with 'Imperial': 1, 2, and to follow. Is this going to project me into space, like some P.K. Dick hero from 'The time is out of joint' (which Vollmann puts into his monumental bibliography)-or just towards more homely time shifts in between aliens, like Dr. Eric Sweetscent in Tijuana proper?

c. VALIS (Vast Acting Living Intelligent System), the great epic of this  portion of the earth surface, showed it: Santa Ana, CA, opens up into a million dimensions and a million suns (many of these dimensions being utterly drab and devoid of meaning- the suns black, or gray). It is very doubtful that here we can hold either to the pleasure or to the reality principle: things are a little more complicated, real life (whatever it means) is not like this.
