ABSTRACT
Intimacy and complicity use not the clear and distinct formulations of grammatical language but allusions, cryptic passwords, erotic glances and touches, sacrificial impulses, and laughter. The transparency of the people minds in laughter and in grief gives the reader the conviction that the people can understand one another when they exchange information and directives. If the people can laugh, they can deal with reality! Laughter is provoked by causes that could just as well have provoked the congestion of sexual organs prior to their spasms: the tickling that can prime vaginal secretions can also trigger giggling. In the moment of laughter, there is a transparency among individuals, as if the outburst of laughter gave rise to a single torrent surging within them. Laughter freezes when someone who brings death to the people friend or to a whole people gets away with it.
