Kultureflash - Headlines from London
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Issue 209
- Silence is golden but sometimes it ain't... ask the US librarians slapped with an unjustified FBI gag order or Danish journo Flemming Rose, who is up in arms about the histrionics going down in the Muslim community in the wake of Rushdie's acceptance of a knighthood. It seems Mr Rushdie and the US press keeping their traps shut is speaking volumes. But you win some, you lose some... and since not talking with your mouth full is no longer an issue for the World Eating Champion, we welcome him back into the conversational fold. And from beyond the grave, Juan Ramon Jimenez's saucy tales may not be to everyone's liking, but it's tricky to enforce silence upon dead poets. Spilling the shocking secrets of your past is all the rage (especially if it involves abuse, drugs and/or neglect in a sort of literary misery mash up), and it would appear that JT LeRoy/Laura Albert has his/her fictional/ real finger on the pulse. Will this open the misery biopic floodgates? Will they replace the current vogue for violent slasher flicks? Instead, watch DVDs of the 1,000 greatest films to see before you die, and you can not only avoid the cinema but also reading what the critics have to say. Or just watch films on YouTube. It's global, it's popular, and it's a way to make a fast buck.
