Nja, Kathy Acker var en genuin stilist, rå, punkig, inte alltid lika bra, men Skugge är inte ens en blek kopia. Acker pekade inte finger, var inte hånfull nymoralist, hade aldrig skrivit en mästrande bok som ”Ordentliga människor”. Är det någon Skugge ska jämföras med är det nog Heberlein, gillar att peka finger, skriver flyhänt och ytligt, byter åsikt, får en massa uppmärksamhet, har olika regler för sig själv och andra. Ett massmedialt fenomen. Jämförelsen med Strindberg är förstås skrattretande, de har nog inte läst Strindberg, då skulle de se direkt hur illa Skugge skriver. Men hon håller inte vid sidan av förebilden Kathy Acker heller.
Strindberg var the fucker, not the fuckee.
Precis på samma sätt som att en vacker man och en vacker kvinna är två helt olika kreatur.
Den vackra kvinnan kallar man hora när hon inte vill ligga, den vackra mannen våldtäktsman.
Det är en historia som är lika gammal som judarna.
Genesis 39:6-20
Citat:
Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge. He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.
But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house, she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house. And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house, she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.” Then she laid up his garment by her until his master came home, and she told him the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to laugh at me. But as soon as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment beside me and fled out of the house.”
As soon as his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, “This is the way your servant treated me,” his anger was kindled. And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.
Den här universella tidlösa skillnaden förstod Strindberg väl.
Skugge känner till den med, men hon vägrar erkänna att hon inte kan få de vackra männen som hon håller på.
Hade hon blottat den oförmågan och reflekterat över den hade hon genast varit intressant.
Kanske även som kvinna. Men hon vågar inte gå utanför sin roll som hora. Sverige är ett väldigt barnsligt land.
