Honore Daumier, "Le Charivari, " 27 September 1836 "Jean
Baudrillard once suggested an important correction to classical
Marxism: exchange value is not, as Marx had it, a distortion of a
commodity s underlying use value; use value, instead, is a fiction
created by exchange value." - "n+1 Magazine, " Death by Degrees "He
had ferreted so much, collected so many clues, that he could have
prophesied how the new neighbourhoods would look in 1870.
Sometimes, in the street, he would look curiously at certain
houses, as if they were acquaintances whose destiny, known to him
alone, deeply affected him." - Emile Zola, "The Kill" Our new
Gilded Age looks a lot like the 19th century version, as seen and
annotated in Rob Kovitz s "Capital of the World, " with words and
images collected and remixed from Emile Zola, Honore Daumier, Lewis
Lapham, Baron Haussmann, Sam Lipsyte, n+1 Magazine, and various
others. " You ll see, murmured Monsieur Hupel de la Noue, that I

with an amiable smile. You know your period, Monsieur le Prefet. "
- Emile Zola, "The Kill" *** "treyf, adj. Yiddish] - not kosher,
unclean." Treyf Books by Rob Kovitz are unusual books of an
indeterminate type, sort of story-picture montage-remix books for
people who can t stomach any more schmaltzy "Chicken Soup for the
Soul." Treyf Books are cooked up using texts and images compiled
from various sources, usually obsessively related to one or more
themes, and then recombined through a process of highly subjective
editing, ordering and juxtaposition. " Strange and clever. - Globe
& Mail" " Funny, but deep. - Umbrella" " Is this a new form of
discourse in step with its multivalent, chaotic times, or just an
excuse for intellectual laziness? Only the author knows for sure. -
