    Check out China M’s little talk here from the three-minute-mark for about twenty seconds…
    It made me smile.

    PS — oh, and zn, around the 26 minute mark or so, he talks about the ‘uncanny’ and dread, and ghost-story stuff. Fwiw

    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:
