I am surprised that it has taken this long for anyone to question Vanessa Place’s contribution to the Drunken Boat conceptual writing folio. I was extremely disturbed by it. Which was the point, as Place said. Gone with the Wind still sells millions of copies worldwide, and is still wildly adored by many readers. As Place points out in her statement, her text consists of all the lines that contain the “n” word. It’s hard to read. In fact I find it unreadable. Place is an artist who pushes her art to disturbing, uncomfortable extremes.
