David has always been special, attuned to the dark side of things, pulled toward the disturbing undercurrents beneath the slick surface of American life. As a whimsical, misunderstood boy growing up in the Florida backwoods, he maps out a reality less hostile than the snapping gators and insensitive school teachers of his rural home. As an adolescent he gets a shocking introduction to sensuality, a sexual initiation in stark contrast to the gentle first-kiss fantasies of teenaged dreams. Lunar Attractions brilliantly captures the manic nature of our times.

Die Zähmung der Zeit
Im Jahre 1876 verpasste der kanadische Ingenieur Sandford Fleming auf einem Bahnhof in Irland seinen Zug. Dieses Missgeschick war für ihn derAnlass, nach einem Konzept zu suchen, mit dem man dieregionalen Zeitunterschiede systematisch festlegen konnte. Er teilte den Globus in 24 Zeitzonen ein und schuf damit ein grundlegendes System, ohne das die Globalisierung nicht denkbar wäre.
