Jack Torrance (the character in Kubrick's movie the Shining) was obsessed with a sentence that he thought was unfinished and that he kept retyping on his typewriter. This exact sentence was borrowed by hundreds and thousands of anonymous authors who, one day, decided to repeat this sentence, endlessly. This book is a bout the sentence, the reproduction of this sentence over and over again. The peculiarity of this sentence is that it is structurally complete but conceptually open, open to all possible variations, styles, media and interpretations. This book is about the sentence as part of an endless stream in which the exact same words take different forms and shapes prolonging the nightmare born in Jack Torrance's mind.
