    The Big Not Too Easy

    "...too easy to produce"

    What? I had a helluva time making my way through Repetition, got only half way through In the Labryinth, and can't ever find The Erasures. (Probably on ABE now that I think about it). The A.R-G is not my favorite and his work is certainly very demanding. I can't for a moment possibly believe that his texts are in any way 'easy to produce'. What does the author of this article means by that line?
