Interviews With the Rauschmonstrum by Nick LaTorre

In other words, this monster is smoking us up and out of our minds. This is pure mischief and the author is enjoying it when you accuse him of being a mischievous and shadowy character, so much so that his Rauschmonstrum is nothing but dark smoke that can take any form it wants. NICK LA TORRE – THE GOSPEL OF THE RAUSCHMONSTRUM – 2016 The real miracle is that we are still here to watch such films because their logic is that the world should have been terminated long ago by its own intestine melt-down. We are living in a de-structured world and we believe life is a miracle in a universe of violence and death. And then I peppered this tale with a film about teaching in New York and Los Angeles reduced to a direct and unwinnable war between one teacher and one gang member or listed criminal under age who has to go to school to avoid being sent to prison, juvenile or not.Įnjoy the trip into the ugliness of a godless world entirely dedicated to the paycheck and the health coverage, in one word, the world in which there are no trump cards anymore, where the pawns you are have the obligation to navigate on a chessboard that has lost its white and black squares. I have just re-read and upgraded my review of Nick La Torre’s rethinking of the gospel of Jesus as if Jesus was only a non-entity invested by some kind of supernatural smoky being, if it is a being, looking for a man who could be a puppet that would be the vessel of his/its godliness that people would worship in this human form.
