the critic roams through culture, looking for prey - mason cooley

I am quoting Michael Billington's review of Mayorga's Way to Heaven here:

"[...] And, although he shows Jewish prisoners being coerced into participating in this grisly ritual, their ultimate failure to rebel could be construed as criticism [...] But, although the play disturbs in its suggestion that all humanity is implicated in the most hideous crime of the 20th century, a work like Primo Levi's If This Is A Man makes this kind of theatrical fantasy redundant."

duh? duh? and duh again? no wonder he made such fake observations of the sultan's elephant.
