the desert has done to me what it has done to many of us desert freaks - it has made me ask questions about myself that I would never otherwise have asked. . . I have not done what one has been supposed to do in deserts ever since the time of Moses - I have not ‘found myself.’ If anything I have lost myself, in the sense that I now feel that I understand myself less than I did before, Reyner Banham, Scenes in America Deserta [Salt Lake City: Peregrine Smith Book, 1982], 228.
