To engage with Kurt was to enter his world, a playful one filled with multicultural richness and soaring flights of imagination. In Kurt's fiction, one often finds him in one disguise or another; enjoying many emanations was his theatrical brand of self-referential paradox. In the text, he lays this out plainly:
"The realities of life end death, consciousness and physical manifestation, the nameable and unnameable Tao--these choice dichotomies, and the whole of Boolean algebra and binary logic, Leibnitz and the I Ching, the good Doctor wondered at and lived through as a trade-off between Interaction and Equilibrium in a comingled universe of reality and dream."
This story contains many characters later incorporated into Omasters, and this episode--filled with fine food, good coffee, liquor, hashish, cocaine and sex--highlights Kurt's sometimes all-consuming style of sensual energy.
