So far I've told "our" story twice, late last night, as fully as I could, to Fred Dewey and Sabrina Ott. It's the story of 250 letters, my "debasement", jumping headlong off a cliff. Why does everybody think that women are debasing themselves when we expose the conditions of our own debasement? Why do women always have to come clean? The magnificence of Genet's last great work, The Prisoner of Love, lies in his willingness to be wrong: a seedy old white guy jerking off on the rippling muscles of the Arabs and Black Panthers. Isn't the greatest freedom in the world the freedom to be wrong? What hooks me on our story is our different readings of it. You think it's personal and private; my neurosis. "The greatest secret in the world is, THERE IS NO SECRET." Claire Parnet and Gilles Deleuze. I think our story is performative philosophy.

Fra Chris Kraus: I Love Dick (1997) + ny bog snart.
