For example: I Was a Maoist Intellectual: When Michael Bracewell wrote his first book about music, England Is Mine, he grouped me with Green Gartside and Paddy Mc. Aloon. Don't you know what happens to clever people? They fail commercially, and they're ignored critically, because - especially in Britain, and especially in pop - the critically- acclaimed doesn't diverge long from what's commercial. So this song sees me making a tragedy into a farce: the intellectual becomes a hotel doorman, trying to hand out his records to the stars who pass him. It was all to come true in the 1. Brett Anderson, Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker tipped me discreetly on their way to the upstairs suites. Admittedly, though, much worse things happened to the intellectuals under Mao. And I did, eventually, find publishers for my little red books.

Two designers are being held hostage in Syria by a religious group formed around the lyrics of Sark E. Myth, the singer in post- punk group The Foul. To pass the time and sustain morale our cowardly heroes discuss the design history of classic products, reminisce about favourite typefaces, and debate how best to postpone their probable execution. Meanwhile the Kameraderie is erasing the mastertapes of Fleetwood Mac albums and preparing for an apocalypse heralded by the appearance of the ghastly Spider Comet and a rat regent called Nikki Danjo. Herr F (Everything Living Forever is Screaming Forever) is the fourth Momus novel, now available online in various formats, in both English and German. Published by Fiktion, an experimental online publishing initiative associated with Berlin's Haus der Kulturen der Welt and financed by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes, the novel is a take on the Faust myth and on German- language experimental fiction. The cover you see here is by Hagen Verleger, a designer who is also a character in the story. Reviewing the novel, Berlin newspaper Taz compared Herr F to Scottish author James Hogg's Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, and noted how the book fuses .
