My They Live essay is now live on Medium. Bear three things in mind as you read it:
1. the first inspiration for it is a Gertrude Stein axiom: “The paragraph is the emotional unit of the English language”;
2. the second inspiration for it is the drabble form (the essay is composed of strict 100-word drabbles); and
3. the third inspiration for it is Zizek’s reading of They Live (to which Frank Armitage Was Here responds)
