Can we learn
something about the state of affairs in this world, based on reading novels and
fact-books about some given folks on
Earth?
The answer is
NO! - and look - why....
There is no
doubt that this book written by our British hero Lawrence Osborne is
outstanding, a perfect English novel written by a Gentleman, playing in the
depth of Morocco.
The Story
tells the terrible weekend of fashionable and fully decadent party of rich people
in the desert of Morocco, in an old cottage high on the mountains, bought and
modernized by a queer couple, being rich and wanting an gigantic weekend-party with dozens of invited friends from America,
England, France, Spain, Morocco etc.
We could learn
a lot about the western society and the Morocco desert sons of highest poverty.
The story as
such
An English
couple with outstanding characters are invited and try to find the place far
away from Tanger. In the night, suddenly two youth appear in the front-light
and David, the husband and doctor of medicine, believes to feel by a seventh sense a deathly danger and instead of stopping, drives into some of two youths,
named Driss, and the lady Jo, a writer of children-stories, cries out loud and
naturally, the whole party-weekend is under the burden of this accident.
Police keeps
quiet, but the old father of the boy appears and dictates that David should
accompany him to a distant and poor village, for funeral and paying perhaps
some contribution.
We are
watching the god-damn decadent party, the sex-plays, the voyage of David, the
stories of the Boys before this deathly accident and learn a lot about the
stupidity of western rich folks, the indigenous habits and characters and the
danger of death, that nobody wants to see as a true fact, far away from home.
This in fact
is only some distant picture of the whole world, how it is today, but we must now
look nearer to facts and truth-
- Here some critics,
which are in fact an analysis of the world as it is today and how stupid novel
writers can be:
Accident: We
learn only on the last page of this book, that the feeling of David to be
killed by the boys was actually the plan. The driving over the boy was
justified.
Police: No one
could know that it was anything else but a normal accident, but still all folks
handled it as if it would have been a murder. Now, such an assumption is stupid
and justified incredible actions in the book - even the possibility of David
being killed by Morocco folks.
Consequences:
The author believes that if the father would kill David, having gone in his
village, this could be justified, since he had lost his only son. The way
Osborne presents it, the reader gets the idea, to kill a man because of a car
accident could well be justified in the Third World.
The Boy Driss:
It is not clear if Driss killed in Spain because of 2000 Euro a Lady who gave
this poor chap some garden-work. And the killing of the couple in the car was
the plan. But the whole novel sees only David as the big asshole, and not the party
idiots, the stupid father of Driss, Driss himself or the story as such.
In short words
what does not work:
The accident -
why to pay for it - what do policemen in Morocco - what is the state about the dirty
society in a crazy weekend-party - why do we accept such perverse humans - how
the hell can it be just, to prevent to be killed by stupid Morocco youth
wanting just a little bit of cash - why is it okay to accept queerness,
stupidity, dopes, dancing of young whores - selling out for nothing whole villages
in the Third World - adoring richness and English education of idiots, far away
from home etc. ??
Conclusion
The novel does
not touch the relevant facts about the confrontation of western decadence as
opposed to African old societies of very poor folks.
The novel does
not really condemn habits of western American Style idiocy, when some rich VIP
have lots of money and take any other persons in other lands for stupid
animals.
How today such
an ethic has become the common standard of western writers who have no notion
of the real situation of our rotten societies and a world just on the edge of
dying soon.
The whole
exposition goes on effects, for dummy readers, the huge problems of our
populations are shown in a sunny light and Osborne has no idea that about 99
percent of folks, be they rich or poor, how all have become paranoid, schizophrenic
and enfeebled in mind to an extent, a normal man could not seize in his
intellect.
These world
Pops in all lands have gone crazy, they do not understand anything in this Chaos
and their only Belief is Cash or an esoteric lie of some Gods or Allahs, that
have never been in existence.
Where is the
book that would finally explain our world in a novel?
It's
"John Demaster" written by René Delavy - stupids.
But you had
missed it - and your whole life as well.
