really really enjoyed this piece and (like any good goldsmith grad) loved the dialogue with Hall. i was unaware there was a debate, but you so perfectly articulated the history of the conversation and your own considerations. the discourse on punctuation and syntax reminded me of this incredible piece about the aside and the parenthetical that is still at the top of my mind when i write a year and a half later: https://www.thebeliever.net/aside-affects-lauren-michele-jackson/
