If you've watched Everett do any interviews you know that he resists questions asking him to explain or interpret his work. So, I feel free to do it for him. This video is the result of thoughts I have been kicking around for months. I am not suggesting this is the correct or the only way to think about James. These are just my thoughts.

Greg from @anotherbibliophilereads gave almost identical categories (they even all started with e) in an answer he gave in response to a prompt in the Read Smart Tag. It is possible that I have plagiarized his answer in making this video: youtube.com/watch?v=TWsGgswiGLI&t=579s
Also this video was clearly inspired by my appearance on @Johanna_reads channel as a part of her "Why Read?" series of videos.
