Watten on Carla Harryman
 

In Harryman, "the writing is concerned with the evaluation of the sentence. The thought proceeds up to the moment of the next thought"
 
"The image content, though extremely interior, is still given a distance [?] and particularity; there is also much more distance to the 'you.'"
