Sufficient Unto the Day Sermones Contra Solicitudinem edition by Nicola Masciandaro Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Nicola Masciandaro's book "Sufficient Unto the Day" is selections from this prolific thinker/artist mostly orbiting elliptically around the hope(ful)lessness of refusing worry. Doubtless, this is clear from reading the back cover; what is not, however, is how indefatigably strange NM's style can be (especially in contradistinction to his fellow thinker Eugene Thacker, whose style is quite straightforward and unassuming.) I, lamentably, find myself enthralled by it, however.
NM is unabashed and incorrigible in his love/abuse of catena--a Medieval practice of oodles of quotations from other works. (He is as liable to quote Blake as he is Bataille (thus my own micro-catana-istic title above) or 20th century mystic Meher "Don't worry, be happy" Baba or black metal master Mgla. He appears to be influenced by Derrida in his style-if NOT the French master's love/abuse of an OCD-istic method (sans method doubtless doubtful) devoid of soteriology (never-you-mind conclusion). This can be seen in NM's love/abuse of indulgent footnotes that, occasionally, go on for a page or 3, as well as in the O.E.D.ipal love of the Will-To-Etymologize all philosophical analysis. Oh, and did I mention NM'll quote Chaucer in the original ye olde Middle English style, making for an infuriating-if-all-to-brief-read? Did I mention I love his work? Well I do. And I bet you will too.
Highlights "The Sweetness (of the Law)" sojourns its exhilarating way through a brief history of the use of spice, the spice trade, to the freedom of law to the needless necessity of worry/refusing worry. It appears as a bizarre way of reconditely (yes, that's a word) explaining that we are bound to be so why not be bound to be (worry) free? "Half Dead Parsing Cecilia" hacks into NM's twin passions of decapitation and Chaucer (you'll note the marble prostrate sculptured lady upon the book's cover has her neck oh-so-delicately grooved). It analyzes the position of the executioner and the fabled continued existence of our cover girl Saint Cecilia after she'd been sliced thrice. "Wormsign" delves into Herbert's timeless classic in order to explain the mystical fact that we are all worms (mostly). "Labor, Language, Laughter" is the longest work at 40 pages and also (for me) the most challenging--not because I couldn't follow it, but because I thought I already had it understood, only to find out there was more going on. It examines the practice of citation in modern and contemporary scholarship. "Ok," I mused, "so he's deconstructing the author; big deal." But it goes deeper, questioning the very ownership of labor itself (similar to a lecture Anthony Paul Smith did on Eckhart, Spinoza, & the putative necessity of expecting something from one's labors, at the Absolute Mysticism dealie a couple of years ago.) Finally, "This is Paradise A Heresy of the Present" unpacks the mystico-realism of Total Immanence, demonstrating in the offing, that NM is no strict Derridean (Thank Baba).
In near-closing, the book is well bound with opaque pages, its cover has a smooth, rubberistic feel (I can see Michael J. Anderson stroking a Formica table as I write this--for David Lynch fans, that one), & has lovely b&w reproductions of both a skeleton lost in thoughtless thought, as well as a decapitated saint holding his own severed head as blood spurts without a care in the world. For the price, this book is not only a figurative steal, but also quite the ice breaker if left atop the coffee table of your (or anyone's, really) home.
I want to encourage those even remotely interested to check out the plethora of close-to-indescribably oddly wonderful/wonderfully odd and always thought-provoking/never boring works by NM & his writing partner the aforementioned brilliant (and Cosmic Pessimist to NM's Cosmic Optimist) Eugene Thacker. Between the two of them and their cohort of other thinkers & artists, & with their press Schism (Greatest. Logo. EVER!) their works examine Black Metal Theory (founded by NM & ET), Darkness Mysticism, Decapitation, Serial Killing, True Detective (season 1, DOUBTless), and the Horror of Philosophy (and NM's always pushing something called 'Love,' btw perhaps the truest radicality, that). NM's work doesn't so much walk a fine line betwixt and between these and other dark wonders as he smears it, like a Francis Bacon painting, in order to reveal (to quasi-misquote Wallace Stevens) that being "nothing himself," he "beholds" the "Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is."
Content is (presumably) worth a rating of 4-5 stars. However, I can't be certain because the version is badly formatted, and at least one whole section text is mangled (at which point I gave up).
