520 _aA man leaves his home on tiptoe, in the middle of the night, and stays away all day on the beach. Another man comes home from work, does his exercises, takes a shower, cooks supper for himself, eats, works, reads, and goes to sleep. Between these two occurrences a lot of other events having to do with breaking up, loneliness, looking for someone, etc., happen. Actions as well as shapes, colors and textures form patterns. Events are as immobile as the weave of a fabric. A geometric design acts by existing. Our mind notes all patterns down and stores them away. The mind craves for patterns. It arranges everything in patterns. Patterns reduce the amount of information required for describing something. The patterning process of the mind, then, is like the packing of numbers in a computer to reduce a storage. Similes, metaphors, and other images help to form patterns where the dull rational mind sees none. The reality in Yuriy Tarnawsky’s book is broken down into simple sentences wherever possible. These are like the flat surfaces in a cubist painting. Time and space are reduced to their elemental units. The unit of language is the sentence and not the phoneme or even the word. In the reader’s mind, the elements are linked, become rounded, organic; lacunae are filled out, and life is recreated. Language has accomplished the work of the five senses. A literary work is simulated life.
