What is Jes Grew? To understand the concept of Jes Grew, this paper adapts Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the schizophrenic. Jes Grew is the schizophrenic flow itself, a massive desiring machine that respects the flow itself and the changes it may bring. The characters who embrace the spirit of Jes Grew, in other words, the Jes Grew carriers learns that time and all that lives in it comes and goes like a pendulum. The process of becoming and the energy that is generated while the pendulum moves are considered the most important aspects reiterated in Reed’s works. And likewise, liberating beings from a certain definition, thereby allowing them to ‘become’ desiring machines, is the goal of Deleuze and Guattari’s schizophrenic analysis. In this sense, Jes Grew is the closest thing to what Deleuze and Guattari call the schizorevolutionary art that “embraces all that flows and counter flows” (370). Therefore, although Papa Labas fails to restore the Jes Grew Text, the Jes Grew carriers will be able to rebel against the despotic socius despite its lack of the Text, for Jes Grew is not a simple name labeled to a certain form of art, but life itself.
