Excerpt from the confession: This is written language, I read it to you, it is very important, very very important. Pundits are sitting on chopping boards waiting to be dismembered, and I don't want to, because scattered stumps tend to cause indifference and panic. What I hated was the fair lady's stockings and high heels, the police chief's fancy tie and the prudence of his refraining words. I hate walls, wall after wall of web, pink wall, green wall, blue wall and grey wall. These are equally irritating and frustrating to me. I've killed more than one, I admit, but I can't explain my motives, because words turn out to be lies. My dear father, I will not lie to you, not even a little bit. So, I ask that you understand my anger and set me free.
