BONERS FOR BOOKS: THE CONSPIRACY OF ART

Hold on tight!  There's a conspiracy a foot. . . "The Conspiracy of Art" by Jean Baudrillard, courtesy of BSD reader Trenton.

BONERS FOR BOOKS: THE PERFECT CRIME

"Flaccid"

Soft AND hard.

But which represents the Real?

Neither!  Because "reality" is dead, and Jean Baudrillard is the lead homicide investigator.

I like this book soooo much, I found myself underling almost every single line.  A special thank you to the anonymous stranger who found the book on my Amazon Wish List and sent it my way.  :-)

THE PERFECT CRIME

"It is as though things had swallowed their own mirrors and had become transparent to themselves, entirely present to themselves in a ruthless transcription, full in the light and in real time.  Instead of being absent from themselves in illusion, they are forced to register on a thousand screens, off whose horizons not only the real has disappeared, but the image too.  The reality has been driven out of reality."

--Jean Baudrillard, "The Perfect Crime"
