irrealis moods by asher tuil
'There is a tense of longing and regret, in which every step becomes delayed, revised, held back a little bit. The past and future are hypothesized...'
Torpor - Chris Kraus
'Over the pile of ancient trash, over the colorful rags and broken glass, drifts a tremor, a vibration, just like the hot air above a tin roof at noon...'
Roadside Picnic - Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
'The space inside the tower's needlelike brain now began to vibrate, began to seep down through its muscular steel interlacements into the ground. Whereupon the tower wrenched its iron soles free of the foundation, rocked back, and hinged off.'
The Bookmark - Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
