(In the living room, Lukacs has just come from a meeting with Thomas Mann)
Me: I’m sorry sweetheart but we have to break up asap.
Lukacs:whaaaaaaaat? Can I know why?
Me: I don’t know what to say. But I can’t understand what you want from me or what are expecting from this relationship.
Lukacs: Doaa, tell me the truth. Is it Brecht?
(Silence)
Lukacs:(crying) omg,This whole thing doesn’t seem real, I mean”realistic”I never felt”alienated”from anyone like I am now. That son of the bitch thinks he can take you away from me with his Verfremdung?But he doesn’t know me.I’ll show him who Lukacs really is.(Screaming).But, how dare you? are you dumping me for a man like HIM?do you know how women were like in the 19th century?
Me: Honey, that’s one of the things I don’t like about you.You always talk about the past.We are in th 21st century why are you mentioning the 19th?(crying) I never felt this way before.Sorry to say that but I hate you!!
(Voice comes out of the bedroom)
Brecht:Hey Doaa. What’s going on?are you okay?(Goes to the living room).Holy crap!Lukacs??????????
(Door opens)
Adorno: Hey, sweet Doaa.I really need a hot shower.I’ve been fighting with Benjamin the whooooooooole day.(Moments later).Jesus! Lukacs?????
(Washroom door opens)
Barthes: What is this noise?who are these three gentlemen? Is the”image”I’m seeing infront of me”signify”you’re betraying me?
Me:(Thinking):OOh man!I’m screwed!
(To be continued)
Dear Doaa,
I’m so sorry about what is going on with you, Luckas and Brecht; just be aware that Barthes could be more dangerous for you. If you allow me I will have a date with Jacques Derrida, but not before dating Water Benjamin. Walter really is a good fellow and he can show you wonderful things. By the way, do not trust Adorno and do not believe on his negative dialectic.
All the very best,
Oscar
