Just finished Conrad’s _Secret Agent_. Ummm does anybody else think it’s hilarious? Postcolonial boomerang paranoiac police detective novel: the heart of darkness is London, ‘burn after reading’ levels of shambolic nonsense

"fifty-two exorcists, readers, and doorkeepers" is "exorcist, reader, and doorkeeper" a single position? or three different ones, and they add up to 52? follow-up question: how many exorcists does a Church really need to function? does it depend on demon density?

oh wow it's not photoshopped. i can't believe i never learned that the reagans were buried in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum in the third c. bce and were only unearthed in the 1980s, by Deng Xiaoping's regime. That explains a lot.

Is this book any good? Are there any Deleuzian Chinese religion heads from the 1980s on here? Book cover kind of looks like an early 1990s punk album cover...
