Writing is the destruction of every voice, of every point of origin.
: The voice loses its origin, the author enters into his own death, writings begins.

A fact is narrated with a view to acting intransitively on reality, finally outside of any function.
> It is that I see. It is not that I see it.
: 수렴적 탐색이 아닌 확산적 탐색 > 의도의 소멸

It is language which speaks, not the author; to write is, through a prerequisite impersonality, to reach that point where only language act, 'performs', and not 'me'.

The novel ends when writing at last becomes possible.
