Bernard Henri-Levy and Bob Dylan

BHL has published his new book "American Vertigo". I have not read it yet, but it has caused a sort of vertigo among americans. They do not know yet "how to eat him"--as we say in Israel. They say he is a good looking, welthy and talented philosopher, with a very sophisticated and pretty wife--an actress, the bigger gamle for american journalits. They even do not remark his position, they merely underline his assets as a star. But as Borges said so profoundly writing on Oscar Wilde, it may occur that the star is made to conceal that he says true things.
For example, BHL has participated very firmly in the "Forum Psy", in Paris, after the iniciative of Jacques-Alain Miller. This forum is aimed against the Accoyer law, which is a sort of legislation of psy-therapies, and looks to put under psychiatric authorisation and recommandation the conveniency of psy-treatments. BHL has written "seven principles" of psychoanalysis, that the World Association of Psychoanalysis has adopted tacitly as seven principles that merit being considered as nuclear to the practice of psychoanalysis. These things are opaque to Americans. Enough to see the last movie about Bob Dylan by Scorsese. Americans did not grasp the Dylan phenomenon, their Bob Dylan (!)-- they wanted to put it safely under some known classification. Protest singer? Anarchist? Against Vietnam war? Some implicit message? Bob Dylan was their BHL.
