Excerpts: Irreverence, denial, anti-joke, laughter as life-affirmation; obscenity as liberation; caricature and parody as rebellion, funerals and carnivals as mass protests, as folk celebrations of the ‘plebeians’, camouflaged under feudal tyranny, the banal tyranny of banal mediocrity, as in our times, the lyrical anti-narrative below the sacred space deifying the Gods, the satanic verses — with the holy text between the unholy text, the text as oppressor, language as power. The politics and philosophy of thought-control. Of liberation.
There are stories within stories. Eyes within lies. Wisdom outside knowledge.
