- content: 'Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered,
- everything to be obliterated. Admittedly, there is the primal shock of the deserts
- and the dazzle of California, but when this is gone, the secondary brilliance of
- the journey begins, that of the excessive, pitiless distance, the infinity of anonymous
- faces and distances, or of certain miraculous geological formations, which ultimately
- testify to no human will, while keeping intact an image of upheaval. This form of
- travel admits of no exceptions: when it runs up against a known face, a familiar
- landscape, or some decipherable message, the spell is broken: the amnesic, ascetic,
- asymptotic charm of disappearance succumbs to affect and worldly semiology.'
