Status Updates From Die Ästhetik des Widerstand...

My previous bad experience when I last picked up this book can unfortunately be entirely blamed on using too large a font on the ebook.

“Perseus, Dante, Picasso remained unscathed, handing down what their mirror had captured, the head of Medusa, the circles of the Inferno, the blasting of Guernica. Imagination lived only so long as human beings who resisted lived.”

The communists got to reliant on the idea of full revolution... the social democrats moved to the right to placate the bourgouise...the communists go too jaded about working with institutions...the social democrats got too jaded about working with the communists...and on and on and on, how many times can this point be made!!!!!!

I don't want to hype this one up too much, but so far its pretty insane

“The meetings of the sixty Communists in Madrid, Gomez reported, included one comrade who always showed up with a huge, handmade bomb that he placed under his seat. When asked why he carried it around with him, he replied that if a bomb were suddenly needed, there would be one here.”

“It was not enough to point out that the libraries were open, first you had to overcome the generations-old compulsive idea that the book did not exist for you. On Sundays we sat in the Humboldt Grove or in St. Hedwig’s Cemetery, near Pflugstrasse, trying to find out what the Divina Commedia had to do with our lives.”

Excellent

This is breaking my brain. I love when my fiction reads like non-fiction and my non-fiction reads like fiction.
