Palomino
My blogs
| Introduction | What can I say? I'm just one more Failed Post-Lacanian Literary Theorist® but I've moved on. Under another name, I publish poems and cartoons as well as translations (from French and Spanish) of other people's poems, and translations of other people's books about topics that include the philosophy of psychoanalysis and the psychosocial history of weird science. My success in these efforts has been meteoric. In less than a third of the time I've been alive, I have seen myself lifted up from the slush pile of oblivion and planted upright in the cotton fields of obscurity. When I was young, triumph on this scale would have gone right to my head, but I'm mature enough now to handle it. And that is why I am Palomino here—Palomino, and Palomino alone—rather than that cultural icon whose name you would certainly recognize from the cover of the book that enjoyed Amazon sales rank #3,368,613 on the afternoon of September 3, 2008. I treasure my obscurity, for it guards my anonymity. And, no, the portrait at left is not a likeness of me. It is a likeness of Howdy Meets Kierkegaard, an artwork by me. |
