The ONANtiad headline montage — "Mario as auteur opts for his…"

quote

Mario as auteur opts for his late father’s parodic device of mixing real and fake news-summary cartridges, magazine articles, and historical headers from the last few great daily papers, all for a sort of time-lapse exposition of certain developments leading up to Interdependence and Subsidized Time and cartographic Reconfiguration and the renewal of a tight and considerably tidier Experialist U.S. of A., under Gentle:

Context

The installment's thesis sentence, and the plan-note's "montage as inherited technique" named at source: the device is explicitly "his late father's," and "Mario as auteur" makes the inheritance official. The whole history of Interdependence, Subsidized Time, and Reconfiguration then arrives as the device — the colon opens directly onto three pages of headers and voiceovers, so the form literally is the content.
