Charmer

Two friends

Tonight I had dinner with two friends.
We spoke about Slavoj Žižek.
One of the friends said: “He is such a kind man. Contrary to what you would expect, he is a real charmer.”

On being a charmer
"Slavoj Žižek (pronounced [slavoj ik]) (born 21 March, 1949 in Ljubljana, PR Slovenia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Hegelian philosopher, Lacanian theoretical psychoanalyst, Marxist political thinker, film theorist, and cultural critic."
A Marxist political thinker couldn't be a charmer?
Why not? Anybody can be a charmer!
I find Mr Žižek's lisp very charming indeed.

Once again you are jumping to conclusions.
To the patients of this of this blog
Would you recommend any of his books?
Jan Allemagne
"Violence" is thought provoking and actually in a strange way an entertaining read. There's a lot of articles of him on the web, I think the website that collects them is called lacan.com.
Fortune
History is not a fortuneteller, fact is that there are no facts for the "rücksichtloser" foundation of an ideology in the near future, or are there?
John Lennon
Mr Grunberg, is your bed-in on Thursday the 19th of November 2009 inspired by John Lennon? Are you a fan of his work? Do you think you can achieve world-peace by lying in bed with your wife?
Girlfriend
At some point my girlfriend will present her new book during a bed-in in our house, in our bed. I'll be allowed to interview her in dutch. Looking forward to it!
And all Ideology serves Abercrombie annd Fitch?
Well I thought so actually. I was in the bath one day at Zak's in Sag Harbor and I thought: Mike Jeffries must be our greatest thinker since poor Gianni left us (and Syd of course). But he's such a Barbie! I tremble for the future I really do. What I do wish is that more boys wore advertising on their bottoms as the little girls do. .I think that's an atractive, Holzeresqe solution to the need for more platform. Oh lol.
Susan reads over my shoulder. "He's cute," she sighs and wriggles. Zizek, not you darling. Take no umbrage sweet but you are more elfin than Susan goes for. She likes that rugged wooly vanishing mediator look. But me for the enfant terrible. You know that. Even old and mossy didnt I adore Truman.? My first love. Even at this late date I have a revoltingly bougeois regard for those little blue boxes.
I understand discretion so cut me if must little devil. But being coy is attractive in youthful Europeans. It just looks stupid on the old. Some of us being old enough to remember howsoever we might wish it other. Toujours gai honey.
little blue boxes

Little blue boxes?

Like the kind you get at breakfast. Do not be obtuse. Is Carlos so delicate? I do believe that as with Humbert I remember that Roman's desires predated.. .oh but maybe I'm remembering Kozinski... so many foreign visitors to my dirt. America has done so much and given many thiings. It did not originate Man's taste for chicken. Do you know in Berlin, in the twenties, there was a street for mothers and daughters? It was popular with journalists it is said. Reasonably priced therefore. And a whole street! Well I suppose it might have been a short street. Even so. Imagine.

Carlos?
