MALIBU BARBIE AND THE RIGHTS OF MAN A mistress of suburban bliss engages a federalist in a debate on original intent. It is not enough to have the right to pursue pleasure. Rights imply satisfaction. No wonder her desires have been instituted as law. Certainly, Barbie wants to be the director in a scene of Sadean representation. More than a novel, this is a fictional essay that recognizes how every assertion of rights degenerates into a theater of cruelty. For such a spectacle, even Dolly Madison would wield her ice cream scoop as a weapon of the new revolution. |
