is it funny? does it want to be funny? can it allow that former time to be as complicated a mix of comedy and tragedy, and confusion, as ours is to us?
a book can be like a time capsule, bringing that past to the present, and thereby commenting on our own certainties about what is normal. one volume might be composed of articles/snippets from past and present, as if the dateline classifications were lost. some kind of time-warp mashup, as it were.
