Vaudeville Hook
".. In both cases, at any rate, the fear is that of proletarianization, of slipping down the ladder, of losing a comfort and a set of privileges which we tend increasingly to think of in spatial terms: privacy, empty rooms, silence, walling other people out, protection against crowds and other bodies. Nietzschean wisdom, then, tells us to let go of that kind of fear and reminds us that whatever social and spatial form our future misery may take, it will not be alien because it will by definition be ours. Dasein ist je mein eigenes - defamiliarization, the shock of otherness, is a mere aesthetic effect and a lie."

'splain *this*, sgriswold :
an entertainment blogger writing as "jefevonstanley" wrote off Bleeding Through Ink by West Virginia citizen-poet Jason Kline in the most dismissive terms (reminded *this* Observer of the shrill Hollywood response after the people of Tangier Island told them to make their shitty Kevin Costner movie elsewhere). Vonjefe's angle can be summed up thus:

dumb hick from Appalachia too cheap to pay protection money to “writers’ guild” back east.

... so how is this Quefe guy not mafia? huh?
