On this week's Popcast, Mr. Caramanica is joined on a quasi-philosophical excursion into ideas about permanence and impermanence, legacy control, canon formation and more by Mark Richardson, a writer who for the last several years was the executive editor of Pitchfork; Christopher R. Weingarten, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone; and Caryn Ganz, the pop music editor for The New York Times.
And if the sense of impermanence gets to us on occasion — which it will as we age, as we see ourselves ever more clearly, more soberly, more compassionately aware of all that we still do not do well — then we Vancouverites can take a moment to raise our eyes out of the city to those towering highlands, to the crisp lattice of snow.
The Birds Outside Sang often views big feelings through a kaleidoscope, picking up all their intricacies: love is splintered into memories and gratitude, death becomes more about impermanence in general, sadness manifests itself in sensory detail ("Please come quick, I've stuck my head in the banister again / But I just wanted to know what it would feel like / With one part of my body alive").
For instance, something that might feel so stressful and important at that moment, such as "Oh my boyfriend and I broke up and we were going out for four weeks and that is the end of the world," may feel less important and stressful as they learn impermanence and how things change when they sit with them, and how they don't always have to react and respond, she said.
It is not necessary to agree that "How to Write an Autobiographical Novel" is itself a kind of novel in order to appreciate that Chee has written a moving and personal tribute to impermanence, a wise and transgressive meditation on a life lived both because of and in spite of America, a place where, he writes, "you are allowed to speak the truth as long as nothing changes."
Wistfulness for the past is woven into human nature, and there are lots of words for different types of nostalgia in different languages — the wistful and evocative "saudade" that you might recognize from Portuguese music; "hiraeth" from the Welsh (who search for a cwtch, or a cuddle, in the comforts of their past); the Japanese "mono no aware," a reflection on impermanence; and "sehnsucht," a German word explored deeply by C.S. Lewis.
