For examples of one-dimensionality look no further than Johannes Wohnseifer's wardrobe (spindy, 1995), which replicated the exact dimensions of the armoire in which Schleyer was held by the RAF until his death on October 18, 1977, or Thomas Schutte's Ferienhaus fur Terroristen (Vacation House for Terrorists), 2002, which despairingly takes its cue from Martin Kippenberger's abysmal architectures. Instead, she simply inveighs against the notion of male writers and their alleged one-dimensionality. If the working-poor neighborhood of Port-of-Spain described in the book's title is "one-dimensional," it is the best one-dimensionality achieved in literature anywhere in the contemporary Caribbean, with the possible exception of poetic giant Aime Cesaire's Martinique. |
