Miguel Moliné Escalona’s got together a good collection of links re the new Catalan statute of autonomy. I guess the chosen people feel different about these things, but attempting to follow its grotesque and incoherent peregrinations makes me vaguely ashamed to be human. If I get time I’ll translate the preamble (“ramble” would have been a better designation), which reads as if composed by the occupants of a rural and unlettered bedlam. I am in favour of it much as I am in favour of Buster Keaton: its disasters will be as hilarious as they are horrific.
