Jews-Christians-Moslems, we are all One! Gandhi said. For all these Peoples of the Book, in the Beginning was
the Word.
In
Dictionary of the Khazars: A Lexicon Novel, Milorad Pavic splinters the words of
the peoples of the book into
three
nonlinear narratives or “dictionaries,” the Red Book (Christian version), the Green Book (Islamic version), and
the
Yellow Book (Hebrew version).
The Cut-Ups of William Burroughs
and Brion Gysin also
sought to disrupt the time
sequence
but, more radically, to subvert the Word altogether, to find a new way, perhaps more mysterious and mystifying.
