{24 May 2009}   Becoming-Penguin

anti-oedipus

Laughed out loud when I saw this in the bookstore today. Those radical anarchocommunist dudes have gone from the sleek too-cool-for-the-canon University of Minnesota paperback that looked like a plastic deck jacked into the molar rhizome of cyberspace to a Penguin Classics edition! Fucking awesome.

(I’ve never really been able to read D&G, though I must soon for they are on my qualifying exam. Their books are fun to browse, but as a straight-through reading experience it’s like an overlong cologne ad: “Become animal! Become intense!” There is a nice reading of the old movie Willard in A Thousand Plateaus though.)
