Cirka 100 sider går før der begynder at ske noget i Michel Houellebecqs La possibilité d'une île, a book which I am currently reading in English. Det første citat er fra side 105 hvor interventions- kunstneren Vincent introduceres: Vincent er a breeze of fresh air, han får meget taletid og synes at rykke MH ud af selvsving og repetition af kendte temaer. Jeg kigger lige lidt på den her nu:

"I remember something about Duchamp ... A group, a banner with a phrase like: "The silence of Marcel Duchamp is Overestimated". "Exactly, except that the original phrase was in German. But that illustrates the very principle of the intervention art: create an effective parable that is taken up and narrated in a more or less distorted way by third parties, in order to indirectly modify the whole of society."

Om Larry Clark versus Michael Haneke lyder det på side 153:

It was, therefore, just a brutal regression, typical of modernity, to a stage preceding all civilisation, for any civilisation could judge itself on the fate it reserved for the weakest, for those who were no longer either productive or desireable, in short Larry Clark and his abject accomplice Harmony Korine were just two of the most tedious - and artistically the most miserable - examples of the Nietzschean scum who had been profilerating in the cultural field for far too long, and who could in no way be put on the same level as people like Michael Haneke, or like me, for example - who had always made sure to introduce a certain element of doubt, uncertainty and unease into my shows, even if they were (I was the first to admit it) otherwise repugnant.

Jo, den centrale karakter Daniel er subversiv komiker = MH selv i let ironisk forklædning -- Sådan så min sidste MH-anmeldelse ud. Og i Kuiper findes der desuden en fin artikel om selvsamme Houellebecq.
