thinking about all sorrows can be borne if you put them in a story + devil's minion armand's inability to make a narrative out of anything. he says he knows things but doesn't understand them, that he "cannot proceed from one perception to another." he tells daniel i might be able to tell you if it rained in paris on a particular date but i wouldn't even know how to begin to answer the question of what it was like there in this or that decade because i don't know how to make what i remember cohere into anything. claudia is making a story out of her present and louis is making a story out of the past and daniel is telling other people's stories and armand is living in a world of completely disconnected ideas and events just piling up on top of each other like no wonder the guy microwaves rats
