>I've been reading William Vollmann's Massive "Imperial", about the county in Southern California where my mother was born. The book, which was published with a huge companion volume of Vollmann's photographs (also, confusingly, called Imperial) delves deeply into the ruination of landscape and culture through unrestrained capitalism. Because of its size, it may be too much for many readers, but I'm about 300 pages in & am finding it fascinating -- only q thousand or so pages to go!

I thought I recognised the name. He also wrote "Europe Central" which was also very long. It was right up my alley, though goodness, when it comes to Kurt Gerstein the general context is almost an absolute nadir.
On the imperial front, I was reading Tariq Ali's "Clash of Fundamentalisms", and he refers to Western countries and their allies as simply, The Empire.
