Telling Lies

and vulgar?

I can see them right now, right now in my head.

I can see them ask if I remember having spread lies about them, about their efforts to fight the war against terrorism.

And then I can hear them, those two men, demand that I accompany them, just for a few hours, they’ll say, just for some routine questioning.

And I am left to wonder if this new ending to my story is really so unbelievable, if it is, after all, so absolutely, totally, impossibly unbelievable?

Isn’t it wonderful, this art business? The title of an earlier interview with Dorfman, Telling The Truth Through Lies, says it all. Come up with any old load of rubbish, and if you’ve got the right audience it turns out you’re telling a deeper truth.

    He’s always been like that. He first made a name for himself casting aspersions on Donald Duck because he was not the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie and nor was he married to Daisy.

    I too have been arrested, roughed up and interrogated by shadowy agents of our fascistic state.
    Actually, I haven’t really.
    Or maybe I have.
    Confused? That’s just what they WANT you to be!

    Rather like Sokal’s paper on gravity as a social construct. Or the “shamstansiated” tale of the Little Red Book. Fake, accurate, and more True than the truth.

    Well, Dorfsman always believes that he is living the day that Allende was killed and the CIA is at the door. Is like Groundhog Day for him.

    I read one of Dorfman’s books, rather liked his style, although his obsession with Che really grated.
    This story shows a real creep. Too bad. Scratch another moonbat.
