27 Apr 10 - 01:00 PM (#2895338) Subject: RE: Dick Miles @ Maidenhead Folk Club! From: The Sandman The character of Josef Švejk is a development of this theme. Through possibly-feigned idiocy or incompetence he repeatedly manages to frustrate military authority and expose its stupidity in a form of passive resistance: the reader is left unclear, however, as to whether Švejk is genuinely incompetent, or acting quite deliberately with dumb insolence. These absurd events reach a climax when Švejk, wearing a Russian uniform, is mistakenly taken prisoner by his own troops. Murray,Dick is an abbreviation of Richard. Dick Miles does not play the Melodeon |
