A good contest of stylistic display compared against direct content. Enjoyed the straightforward tone from Diode but felt if you are going to go like this you need better insights or critiques etc, it was a bit too much name dropping without expanding or elucidating much perhaps. Kind of the very basics of nihilism, the last line showing the narrator character to be the ultimate pragmatist. Pretty good effort, but the tone was far overshadowed by Adonis' rich language and tangential connections between all the different phrases. The wording with the short staccato sentences and the vivid words was jarring and added to the overall atmosphere of the writing. Message and language were working together to form a great synthesis, it was a new and interesting conception. Voting for Adonis.
