Never before or since has there been an experiment quite as bold as this. Set against the backdrop of Georgian England with its peculiar mix of elegance, prosperity, progress and squalor, the story of the First Fleet is one of courage, of short-sightedness, of tragedy but above all of extraordinary resilience. It is also, of course, the story of the very first European Australians, reluctant pioneers who travelled into the unknown - the vast majority against their will - in order to form a colony by order of the King's government. Separated from loved ones and travelling in cramped conditions for the months-long journey to Botany Bay, they suffered the most unbearable hardship on arrival on Australian land where a near-famine dictated that rations be cut to the bone. But why was the settlement of New South Wales proposed in the first place? Who were the main players in a story that changed the world and ultimately forged the Australian nation? How did the initial skirmishes... Views: 13

A menudo se compara la escritura de Lydia Lunch con la de Hubert Selby Jr. y Jean Genet. Al leer Paradoxia se observa tambien cierto parecido con autores como Dostoievsky en la desgarrada protagonista. Las escenas de sexo repugnantes recuerdan a Bukowski e incluso a veces al Marques de Sade. Se la ha comparado con muchos otros escritores o rockeros iconoclastas incluso con asesinos. Pero lo mas alucinante es que nunca se la ha comparado con otras mujeres. La protagonista de Lunch no puede follar como un hombre pero si escribir como tal. Ella pertenece tanto al grupo de Blanchot Bataille y Foucault como al de Selby o Genet. Debido a que es obra de una mujer una escritura de este tipo de una verdad brutal y sin medias tintas resulta todo un acto de desafio. No se trata solo de un registro del panorama psicosexual reinante entre los componentes de la No Wave sino de un documento que plantea preguntas importantes sobre el genero el sexo y el abuso. Es cierto que Lunch no se molesta en cambiar los nombres de los personajes (probablemente tambien se mantenga fiel a los detalles) pero no es tanto una autobiografia como un tratado filosofico. Paradoxia tiene un lugar en la literatura de la depravacion.** Views: 13
