The author of such English classics such as Blow Job, C*nt, Amputee Sex and The Easy Way to Falsify Your Credit Rating, shares his moral outrage.
One of the things that really depresses me about post-graduate fine art education in London is that the Nazi thug Martin Heidegger has become central to the teaching of many theory modules on practice-led courses.
I've never understood what all the liberal arts courses with Heidegger content are up to. Don't they know you need at least ten years of Aristotle to begin to understand what has changed after Heidegger? Pulp writers needn't bother trying.
 
Comments:
Actually, Home has for some years written extensively and authoritatively on modern art, and been highly acclaimed for doing so. He has also appeared alongside Peter Ackroyd and Iain Sinclair ( both of whom speak highly of him) in major texts on London and art, all of which are highly regarded and were well received worldwide. He was also writer in residence at the Tate Modern.

Not bad for a lowly 'pulp fiction' writer I'd say.

Too bad he isn't qualified to comment on Heidegger.
