Symbolic
Bleaching
Aldous Huxley writes in “Brave New World”: “One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies.”
I would love to give electrotherapy to all my friends and acquaintances. And in all modesty I believe I’m good at electrotherapy.
Below: I give a facial massage to a Romanian fitness trainer.
Next summer I may do waxing and anal bleaching.
The slogan sounds good to me: “Summer 2010. Arnon Grunberg is the anal bleacher.”

A white star on a tanned skin: the future of Caucasian men and women is bright!
By the way, I am no better. Today I wore my fist tattoo to startle my friend. Of course it was the fake tattoo about the famous Leprechaun Wesley.
What the hell is anal bleaching? Am I missing something?
Mieke
Use your imagination.
There are so many funny things one can do to one's body. My personal favourite is labiaplasty.
Juliane
Was labiaplasty the source of your recent acute gastro-enteritis and circulatory collapse?
Arnon
Interestingly, a couple of days ago, upon viewing the picture of your client whose buttocks are showing, Laura said: "All these pictures are disturbing". "How so?" I said. "They remind me of the anal bleaching scene in Brüno".
Oscar
For a long time now, I have a theory that you are a character created by Arnon.
I think several persons overhere have been more than only one character.
Oscar
No, but you may rest assured that I will make an official announcement should I ever decide to undergo this kind of procedure or something similar.
Juliane
If you need someone to hold your hand, let me know.
Hanny
Who? Aliefka had various alias's, but who else?
Juliane
The more I know about you the more I'm convinced that we are made for each other.
Arnon
Are you applying for holding my other hand throughout surgery?
i think he just wants to sit beside you on the bed when you wake up, to make sure he gets a good impression of how and what you experienced whilst under goinsurgery
imagine how much his head must hurt using his fantasy om daar achter te komen
.i meant " imagine how much his head must hurt if he had to use his fantasy om daar achter te komen"
Juliane
I will do the surgery.
batta
Do I detect a hint of jealousy?
Arnon
How did I know you would answer something along those lines? You're becoming foreseeable, Mr. Grunberg (or am I?). Nonetheless, I urge you to take a course in labiaplasty before getting anywhere near my genitalia with a scalpel.
Oh yes, and I'd prefer a hospital and an anaesthetic to a hotel room and a bottle of gin.
Juliane
A long and happy relationship requires a certain amount of predictability.
Oscar
Jealous, because...? Because I also wish to be a character created by Arnon?
You are avoiding a response to the content of my comment.
batta
I'm of the opinion that Mr. Grunberg just rubs off a bit on his commenters.
Batta, Juliane
I like to think Arnon already created characters -in his novels- after me. Call it vanity, my vanity.
Mieke
Your narcissism is so shockingly overt . As opposed to Mr. Grunberg's narcissism, yours is so humorless.
Mieke, Batta
A possible catfight, nice, come on Mieke, hit back!
@Mieke
I did
Batta
Jealousy hidden in an aggressive tone, that's how you sound Batta.
I do understand. Hostility is often the last resort of people lacking intelligence and wit to express themselves otherwise. Next time try irony.
Hanny
Wat? Het operettekarakter Batta is één van je alternatieve identiteiten ? Proficiat, een puik staaltje acteerwerk.
Mieke
I am already bored with this discussion. Let's conclude we don't get along, and you can go back to making clay pots and mozaics.
Batta
A bit a needless attempt of so-called superiority, supercilious without any reason. Poor, but yet, keep on practicing.
A friend of mine recently said "This Arnon person constantly needs to do more shocking things as he needs to be seen, not as a writer but as someone who has become without a home. Let us hope this is not the case.
Dens
His home is where his bed stands. That and a clean toilet. Nothing exuberant, don't you think so?
Hanny
Or was Vilde Khaya you alter ego? You made me curious.
Mieke
ny home is where my shower is. nothing better than a good shower. I havent made poo in six days now. I feel full.
Dens
You are such a clean boy.
I'm too clean. Who wants to make me dirty?
