Queer Theory & Futurism

[Monte Davis]

Mark Kohut sez: 

> you will recall that marinetti's futurism is savaged big time in AtD...

Indeed it is, and the rush of wind that the Futurists loved (re-read the dive-bombing, sport with the flying girls) blows straight into hair-straight-back, Rockwell Kentish, wind-tunnel Nazi aesthetic:

"Roland too became conscious of the wind, as his mortality had never allowed him. Discovered it so . . . so joyful, that the arrow must veer into it. The wind had been blowing all year long, year after year, but Roland had felt only the secular wind . . . he means, only his personal wind. Yet . . . Selena, the wind, the wind’s everywhere . . . ."
