Thanks, WV.
Pretty great talk.
He’s funny, too. “Octopuses have read their Gramsci.”

Also love that he brought in Rimbaud (one of my favorite poets, all-time), Lautreamont (Les Chants de Maldoror) and the Surrealists who followed them. Have read Walter Benjamin (Illuminations), but had never heard of Christopher Cauldwell and will definitely look him up now. I love the idea of “Gothic Marxism,” and that’s a new term for me too.
Mieville is on my reading list now as well.
Also, Goya, whom I studied in school on my way to a minor in Art History:
The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. 1799
