Michael Gira, The Consumer

[lacephale]

The Consumer / La bouche de Francis Bacon - Michael Gira

" The Consumer " are the short stories written by Michael Gira between the early years of Swans in 83 and it's catharsis in 94. They call it " La Bouche de Francis Bacon " here. I'm now looking for its original version.

" Je me suis gâché. J'ai fait de moi quelque chose que je ne peux pas contrôler. Je suis écrasé, minimisé par tout ce qui m'entoure. J'ai peur de ce qui va se produire ensuite. Chaque mouvement imprévu, chaque bruit que je n'ai pas anticipé me terrorise, m'amoindrit. Il y a une paire de ciseaux sur le bureau devant moi. Je m'en empare, les ouvre et les ferme, presse les cercles de métal contre mes os. Je glisse mes doigts entre les lames des ciseaux et j'appuie le plus fort possible. Elles sont émoussées. Elles ne m'entailleront pas. Ça ne fait pas mal, ça lance, et me rappelle l'existence de ma main, ce qui me dégoûte. Je déteste mon corps encore plus que je déteste les objets et les événements qui se frottent contre lui. Je ne méprise pas mes conditions de vie autant que je méprise l'existence de ma chair. "

The Consumer (1994). Publié par la maison d'édition de Henry Rollins, traduit en français et publié en 2002 par Le Serpent à Plumes sous le titre de La bouche de Francis Bacon

the consumer debut

The expository note is refined then dropped. The need to give some pseudo-scientific explained on superpowers is dropped in favor of pointing to gadgetry. The initials appear a holdover from the Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. spy spoof trend Chase that this follows.

Not sure the jet belt figures at all here given they give her a cape.

She is a Superteen no more, costume dumped in an alley as she walks off forlorn, head down.

Noodnic versus Noodnik. I do have a thought on the Consumer's swim trunk-wear -- borrowing from Marvel's Thing I suppose -- what is the nature of his anatomy? Is there genitalia he's hiding?

I struggle a little on whether to claim "The Consumer" offers social commentary. A metaphor for something. Consumption, for example, or Consumerism. Really hard hitting ideas boiling here!

Obsessed with little Lima Bean Baby Dami. I feel like Bruce would pass out from cuteness if he witnessed his child looking like that.

Talia should send Damian's baby pics to Bruce lol
