About This Item
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some light shelf-wear. Text in French. Gilles Deleuze called Baudrillard 'the shame of the profession' (according to Sylvère Lotringer); J. G. Ballard accused him of being 'trapped inside [his] dismal jargon'; and Susan Sontag described him as 'condescending', 'ignorant and cynical', and 'a political idiot'. All the while, the French philosopher hammered away at his typewriter (he claimed the machine had a 'physical relation to writing' the computer lacked), accompanied by both the Baroque melodies of Claudio Monteverdi and the stripped-down sounds of the Velvet Underground, as referenced here by the iconic art created by the band's frequent collaborator, Andy Warhol, whose '20 Marilyn's' covers this chic little Livre de poche. 123 pp. Foreign Language.
