Re: R: [-empyre-] Bare Life Is Not About Art

["Ana Valdes" <agora158@gmail.com>]

Hi, Luigi, you can read a bit of my forthcoming book in English on the
blog http://korstag.blogspot.com
Its the post about torture and Opus Dei, it was published in the
English magazine Counterpounch, http://www.counterpunch.org
I have also the website http://this.is/Jenin, with the texts I wrote
2002, when I was one of the few civilians who went into the destroyed
and bulldozzed refugeecamp.

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you
