Story4
It is where Fidel Castro raised money to overthrow Batista and where two generations of Castro's enemies have raised armies to overthrow him, so far without success. It is where the bitter opera of Cuban exile intersects with the cynicism of U.S. foreign policy. It is a city whose skyrocketing murder rate is fueled by the cocaine trade, racial discontent, and an undeclared war on the island 90 miles to the south.

In a series of penetrating and alarming essays, whose centerpiece is a commentary on the events of September 11, 2001 (deemed then too controversial to publish), Gore Vidal challenges the comforting consensus following September 11th and goes back and draws connections to Timothy McVeigh’s bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. He asks were these simply the acts of “evil-doers?”

What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face and befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, and her spine lying flat was the many-colored planks on the xylophone, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury.

In "Wie fühlst du dich?" geht es um die Erkenntnis, dass man Gefühl und Vernunft nicht einfach trennen kann, vor allem aber um unsere Eigenständigkeit, um die Fähigkeit, sich zu wehren gegen jene, die uns so gern am Nasenring unserer Affekte durch die Welt führen würden. Überlassen wir unsere Gefühle nicht den Falschen, sondern fragen wir uns lieber selbst: Wie gehen wir mit der Angst um, die uns alle in Atem hält?
