If you like Kafka...
The "Salad Fingers" series , during a preliminary examination, may appear to be a glimpse of the warped experience and perspective of an individual who has suffered a psychotic break with reality. More than this though, I think that the series is a complete philosophical statement. In the vein of the existential, modern, and post-modern antecedents, "Salad Fingers" subscribes to a theoretical frame-work or world view that leads to the ultimate rejection of reason and linearity. In this anti-rational world there is no cause, effect, continuity, or purpose. It is indeed appropriate to go so far as to say that it disputes a reality apart from perception. The story is not insane, rather it is the statement of no-meaning that resonates with the music of John Cage and captures Sartre's idea of No Exit. It is the perfect recapitulation of post-modernism. Or something like that....
