I"m decidedly with Kai here. Very good to be reminded of Nietsche here,
yes...although I did not read the whole book and
"got" what I did of it it in my busy fitful broken string ways.......she
confused and stretched me...and angered and left me uncertain....
and still, her politics then and now, drawn out of somewhere she went
brilliantly seldom matched mine....therefore, wtf Mark?
But on beauty...something there there....
here's a tidbit o publishing .....this book was MADE---made to sell as it
means---by a Zarathustran superwoman of PR and
review-getting......so passionate and hard-working about this book that she
more than willed the attention it got......I heard about her,
working day and night for it, able to argue its importance in a single
bound, able to book Camille from Portland to Portland, etc......
.I wanted to meet her within the industry but never did,.....
