honestly, what does this quote mean?
>"What be 'Be'? You cain't say that 'Be' be, cause you saying 'be' to talk about 'Be', and it don't mean nothing to say that 'Be' be dis or 'Be' be dat. 'Be' be 'Be' to begin wit'. So don't you be saying 'Be' be 'Be'. You wanna talk about 'Be', you gotta talk about what ain't be nothin' at all. You gotta say 'Be' be what ain't 'ain't-Be'. Now when you ain't be nothing at all? Dat be when you be daid. When you daid you ain't be nothing, you just be daid. So 'Be' be somewhere between where you be and where you ain't be, dat is, when you be daid. Any time you say 'Be' you is also saying 'ain't-Be', and dat make you think about being daid."

seems like a commentary on personal continuity, and the strangeness of "becoming" being as much an "un-becoming" as it is a becoming.

imagine pepe or wojack juxtaposed with that quote and you shall be enlightened
It's sort of like a phoenix, I suppose. He found what he loved and let it kill him. And he repeats it every day, and it kills him, and he gets up each morning, effectively reviving himself, after having killed himself the day before. And the culmination of all these exhaustive days created his identity and legacy.

he is an evil wizard and trapped some poor wise kid inside his soul.

Yeah, that book was shit. I mean, cool story, but expanding it beyond some sort of fictional adventure is ludicrous.
