The beginning is both internal and external to the text it initiates, and that noncoincidence points to the text’s vexed relation with its outside. Hence the nontrivial self-reflexivity ofany textual beginning, which must bear witness to the self-grounding quality ofthe literary work—its inability either to comprise its inception or to externalize it in an authorizing exteriority. In a different but related way, the fact that they must begin renders our lives and our desires opaque to us; what Freud called “latency” marks not only sexuality but also human thought with a self-division shaped by asynchronicity. From Henry James’s New York Edition prefaces to George Eliot’s epigraphs, from Ovid’s play with meter to Charles Dickens’s thematizing ofthe ex nihilo emergence ofcharacter, from Wallace Stevens’s abstract consideration ofpoetic origins to James Baldwin’s, Carson McCullers’s, and Eudora Welty’s descriptions of queer childhood, writers repeatedly confront the problem of inception. Inception introduces a fundamental contingency into texts and psyches alike: In the beginning, all could have been otherwise. Fbr Kevin Ohi, the act of inception, and the potential it embodies, enables its to see making and unmaking coincide within the mechanism ofcreation. In this sense, Inceptions traces an ethics ofreading, the possibility ofperceiving, in the ostensibly finished forms oflives and texts, the potentiality inherent in their having started forth.
