Alphabetical Africa


Book Description

"Walter Abish has dovetailed his novel within a Procrustean scheme that has the terrifying and irrefutable logic of the alphabet. Alphabetical Africa is in the line of writers such as Raymond Roussel, Raymond Queneau, Georges Perec and Harry Mathews, who have used constrictive forms to penetrate the space on the other side of poetry." -- John Ashbery

Technology promises to make our lives more productive. Indeed, some things are faster and easier than ever. Unfortunately, a lot of technology is designed for the task, not for the user. As a result, people are able to take more notes, yet understand less. Have you ever taken copious notes in a class or meeting using your computer only to realize afterwards you still didn't understand? Taking notes on paper forces you to synthesize rather than merely transcribe. Imagine you were wrongly accused of a crime and the world's most experienced court stenographer offered to represent you for free. Would you try to save a buck or shell out the money on an experienced attorney? The stenographer has heard as many court arguments, been in as many trials, listened to as many verdicts as most attorneys. However, their experience has primarily been that of transcription, not of comprehension and understanding. Because you desire comprehension and understanding rather than simple transcription, the Gold Mermaid Notebook is a must. Studies About Benefits of Paper Notebooks Don't just take my word, based on a study conducted at UCLA, the Association for Psychological Science indicated that "taking notes by hand is better than taking notes on a laptop for remembering". Will you take advantage of this knowledge to gain an edge on your competition at school, work, or business? How will better understanding make things help you achieve your goals?
