- Skreia er tapt i mitt hjerte
Her forklarer uforliknelige James Howard Kunstler, verdens fremste suburbiahater og mitt store idol, hvordan det hele henger sammen:
In America, with its superabundance of cheap land, simple property laws, social mobility, mania for profit, zest for practical invention, and Bible-drunk sense of history, the yearning to escape industrialism expressed itself as a renewed search for Eden. America reinvented that paradise, described so briefly and vaguely in the book of genesis, called it Suburbia, and put it for sale. - James Howard Kunstler, "The Geography of Nowhere", page 37
Med Norge som USAs 51’ste stat beskriver denne knallbra boka også undergangen for det norske landskapet, og bakgrunnen for den suburbane manien som gjensøker vårt land |
