Heat

by Jonathan Bowden

Written during the Summer of 1992, Heat is in a question-and-answer format. Bowden poses and answers five questions, yet, as usual, the discussion is much broader, and covers an array of other topics, including, among others, Jack Henry Abbott and his book, In the Belly of the Beast; method acting; the David Mellor affair; Antonin Artaud’s ‘Theatre of Cruelty’ and Georges Bataille; the films Batman Returns and Universal Soldier; John Tyndall; the irrationalism and conspiracy theories of the radical Right; Left historical revisionism; the division between political and literary extremism; Oswald Mosley’s economic philosophy; and the evolution of Western imperialism since World War II.
