micha,
what is vanishing point by markson about? is it in the same capitalist/marxist category as the others mentioned? the topic is worthy of a wider public discourse - in order to have an effect? how does the designer/artist play a role in expressing or in dealing with these issues?

someone gave me a copy of that book and it's been on my shelf for at least 3 months. i doubt i will read it, but will at least skim it and look at the pictures.
just finished "What's the Matter with Kansas" by Tom Frank, an easy read that fits (more or less) in the oppressed/oppressor category of thought/lit, like Memmi's "Colonizer and the Colonized." there are many other authors, of course, who pose the question of why the oppressed become apologists for the oppressor.
what is everyone reading this summer?
