Jean Rhys, and The Ethics of Elswhere, and that book?

Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea is a book that I haven't read but, is one of those touchstones that all who want to reference a particular character/personality matrix of assumed roles and so on: Not a person, that a person is. But, and this will be brief, the question strongly implicates the Ethics of Elsewhere. Which is the role of this person. But if we want to decide what is done in the room where we are, this depends almost entirely on doing and premising our doing on what is not here, but is elsewhere. And this does not implicate or consider in any way what is here, only what is not here, and what is Elsewhere. But, if we want to premise, for instance, the pen on parliamentarianism, and not disciplinarianism, we have to, – do we not?- Take into account what is not here? - If we are missing something - this is a predicate knowledge but, a predicate person-and-personhood for that endeavor of forward motion. The faster you move, the faster moves the current that moves you, until you spin out into the wide ecstasy like a thousand points of stars… But move on, you must.
