| | The Devil's Blind Spot: Tales from the New Century by Alexander Kluge, Martin Chalmers, Michael Hulse, ISBN: 0811215954 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | At once a genuine story-teller and a literary documentarian, Alexander Kluge's genius lies in the very special way he makes found material his own. |
 | | In each piece, Kluge alights on precise particulars: on board the atomic submarine Kursk, for instance, we are marched precisely step by step through a fl comedy of the exact, disastrous stages of thinking that lead to catastrophe. |
 | | Chernobyl, the Kursk, 9/11, asymmetrical warfare - the disasters of modernity are viewed by Kluge as missives to all of us, who live, as he writes, in the Devil's blind spot. |
