It’s amazing how the slimyness moving just behind the text seems confusing and hard to grasp until you’ve read Marx, then you just see the nature of the exploitation everyfuckingwhere
Reading theory is like seeing the yellow sign and slowly going insane as it inserts itself into the rest of your life
It’s from The King In Yellow, a sort of proto-lovecraftian horror story. The Yellow King and Yellow Sign are symbolic of forbidden knowledge that ruins your life and drives you insane.
Incidentally it’s also where the name “Carcosa” is from.
