The traditional format of the book is one that dictates a posture of passive reception on the part of the reader. The author is delivering a monologue (much like the one delivered here) and the reader is the receiver or passive audience. Even bold experiments like the cut -up can become an exercise in monologue. To be effective or to have real relevance to the reader cut-up must be an act on the part of the reader. To discover new ways of perceiving is the responsibility of the individual. To make it truly experiential cut it up yourself! This is not to say that the cut-up discoveries of others cannot be a valuable source of information, but why stop there. This act could move the reader into a position of becoming a co-author or co-conspirator in the process of creation. To conspire literally means "to breath together".
