Stations of the Supercross: Attraction and Reaction in Gender Perspective

By John O'Loughlin

Those familiar with John O'Loughlin's literary works, particularly his post-Centretruths writings from 2006-2014, will know that he likes to combine philosophy, or a logically structured way of writing derived from years of abstract thought, with other approaches to text, including autobiographical, psychological, poetical (to a degree), historical, political, religious, and analytical, so that the results, sometimes confusing, are rarely predictable, but can take you by surprise, as when you pass from an autobiographical sketch or a political observation straight into an intensely analytical or philosophical section, though usually not without some forewarning or a lacuna of some sort in the layout of the text. So it is here, in this remarkable collection of structured aphorisms and maxims and what might appear to be essays but are, in fact, aphorisms of a more discursive nature within a self-consciously abstract title-shunning format that eschews paragraphs, in keeping with its aphoristic bias - rather Nietzschean in a way - that the author long ago identified with the concept of 'supernotes', or notes that have been copied from a notebook and reworked and refined and expanded upon until they resemble short essays, without, however, conceding much else to essayistic tradition. - A Centretruths editorial
