What underlies everything? What holds? The noodling here all comes about upon a reading of In the River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks in The New York Review of Books. This is sort of a review of an absurd number [9] of books where Sacks, after many years work, states that it is not just perceptual moments but moments of an essentially personal kind that are the essential atom of being. Along the way Harvey Pekar and American Splendor, and this very Weblog come in for consideration.
