Per Göransson

Johannes Göransson's blog features a response to Charles Bernstein's review of my new book. He writes:

"… an important point here is that the historical avant-garde — Dada, Surrealism etc — was deeply political and their reception was mostly seen in political terms. This is even true in my favorite area of study, the Finland Swedish Modernists, who were accused of being foreign/German instigators and Bolsheviks (even though Björling fought on the side of the anti-communist Whites during the Finnish Civil War)."
