Literary Loitering - Irreverent Mockery With Cultural Anarchists

Willy Wonka’s Golden Toilet - Literary Loitering 109

24 Sep 2019

Description

It’s been a strange few weeks in the arts world, beginning with Slovenia, which now has a rather odd transforming wooden statue of Donald Trump to go along with the bizarre, prehistoric-style statue of his wife Melania.    In other news, a sculpture called America by Maurizio Cattelan has been installed in Blenheim Palace for display/use, Wellington in New Zealand gets its own dose of strange sculpture in the form of a giant hand with a face on it, an attempt in Lincolnshire to join the trend of hiding books for kids to find goes wrong, the Harry Potter books get banned (again), for apparently allowing people to summon demons when read aloud, and we have a quiz about the working titles of famous books.
