Document Summary
The blacks (all of them, abby, aaron, mr. black, etc) I was always moving them round, trying to make connections. Story comes out obliquely: we were let out early, because of what happened (14). One crashed into pentagon; one in a eld in pennsylvania; two into world trade. Centre, ny at 8:46 am and 9:03 am. Oscar wounded by words: messages #1, p. 14-15; #2, p. 69; #3, p. 168. Oskar can"t tell his story to others, make sense of what has happened (expresses self through white clothing, jewellery, etc) We would never talk about the past (p. 83) Also oblique: it wasn"t the bombs and burning buildings (p. 17) Dresden bombings by allied forces, february (cut off) Failures of conventional narrative counterbalances by the importance of words/books as material objects: typography. The way a book is written can tell a whole different story. Meaning through physical presence as well as conceptual de nitions.
