I'm obsessed, bewitched and terrified of what is happening in recent months in North Africa. There is an energy that moves out from under that not only has to do as we say, with despair, but also with a sense of belonging to wider humanity and irrepressible. Unconfined. The violence of despotic attempts to eradicate any alleged membership in the name of stability is unacceptable and bitter. Yet so widespread. In
Grandville, Talbot also speaks of this. This unbearable alternative, hidden behind a seemingly well-off middle class, well-dressed, well-behaved, ... French against English, here. But it's not (only) one speaks of patriotic pride.
