No doubt an artist gifted w/ eyes and words for stark details. Maybe details so stark, he was plagued with tunnel vision.
He expounded black-n-white, almost simple, almost humorous, yet passionate, revelations of details, because, ... he was afraid.
He feared what he could not see (or did not want to see), and, in an effort to avoid the exposure of this, which, out of respect for him, I hope he recognized in himself, combined w/ his fear, which, out of respect for him, I hope he recognized in himself, ... his passionate revelations 'hit you in the face' or 'caught you in your step'.
I think it was fear of unseen and unexplained, and 'hell' on earth, which drove him to create.
I wonder ... Was he begging us to read between the lines, or, Was he so afraid, he was comforted by hiding, or, Was he oblivious and even flippant.
