grangerize

As with Burroughs' analogue cutups, this physical transfer suggests the "Disease" that the Reverend diagnoses, which "delights in maiming old Books." The language here is particularly telling: one does not simply disassemble a book in order to "Grangerize." Rather, one must be infected with "Iconomania," becoming an "idiot" (a commonly deployed term for the "feeble-minded").
