Lemon-Red, breaker of the unbroken, posted the last installment of “Trapped in the Closet” today, in what has been a truly confusing culmination of expectations. If you haven’t heard I-IV, I’m not going to spoil it for you. Suffice it to say I take it as a lesson in expectations. I somewhat doubt that R. was wholly intending to ride our human weakness for linear narrative and the plot’s comfy rise-and-fall, but Chapter 5 leaves us more clueless than we began. Maybe it’s a reflection of a deeply-felt confusion that permeates the world, that every answer only masquerades as one, that the more we find out, the less we really know. Maybe he’s been reading Pynchon. Maybe he wants to make an entropic soap opera, who knows? Either way, if you boil it down, you’ve still got some killer one-liners and imaginative loose ends. I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on this one; I imagine it will be a divisive conclusion, and if we can’t agree, at least we can get knee deep in the screwed + chopped mixes that are starting to ooze out.
