for dutch speakers/readers : what a treasure is marian donner! but to call her the žižek of the lowlands is doing her a disservice. is that the only unconventional, irreverent, radical thinker that comes to mind? in this interview, in part about her new book ‘rooksignalen’, donner mentions such a thinker, igor van krochten, who was her teacher : read his obituary and this prophetic interview with him from 1996.
speaking of teachers, for the monolinguist, here is a wonderful essay about being taught by gillian rose, and many things, from the london review of books, by jenny turner called ‘what else actually is there?’
indeed.
