Versuri The Mysterious J
In the book there are several chapters about
women talking and women writing. Now it seems
likely that men invented writing and wrote what?
Maybe ninety, maybe ninety-five percent of
everything thatâs ever been written. Oh
thereâs the recent theory that a woman, the
mysterious âJâ, wrote much of the Old
Testament, but only because God was portrayed in
this book as patriarchal, tyrannical and
inconsistent, the way presumably only a woman
would write about a man. But I think I can picture
this âJâ scribbling away and laughing although
the first time I saw the Bible re-enacted was
sometime in the 70s and there was a cable TV show
in the Midwest and Bible study groups would act
out parts of the Bible. But these were pretty low
budget productions and shot in a church basement
or somebodyâs ###160109 and all the prophets had
towels wrapped around their heads for turbans, but
you could see the tags, the ones with the washing
instructions, sort of sticking out and back. There
were ver! y few women on these tapes. They tended
to be the odd shepherdess sort dancing girl bit
part.
Then last year I was invited to perform in Israel
and I was very excited because I wanted to see
Jerusalem where this mysterious âJâ had spent
her life writing and working and the Gulf War had
made me even more curious. So I did some asking
around, some informal research, and I talked to an
Israeli woman who was living in New York and she
was really having a hard time living there, and
she was always complaining about American men, and
sheâd say:
â You know, American men are such wimps, I
mean, theyâre always talking about their
feelings.
And I said:
â They are?
And she said she really liked Israeli men because
they were so tough and because they all had guns
and I said:
â Guns, you like guys with guns?
And she said she did and went on about how
terrible it was that Clinton wanted to reduce the
army and she was so animate about this that I
started to get kind of worried. Yeah, I thought,
yeah thatâs true, what are all these military
people going to do when they lose their jobs? And
then I thought, well, hang on, weâve got all
these service industries now, things like
psychotherapy, and the military approach to
psychotherapy would really be kind of perfect,
really efficient and fast, you know, listen, you
are nothing, you are a worm, and if you donât
get that mother complex out by 0400 hours you are
dead meat.
