Home provokes the academically pretentious by subverting literary boundaries, lurching from the intellectual to streetwise conversational realism. To some extent Punk Rock is only a peg on which Home hangs a number of his key ideas. Hence my concern to emphasise the productive role played by the audience in the cultural sphere. Although influenced by Situationism, Home often attacks the late Guy Debord whose concept of the media as a monolithic, conditioning machine leads to the very passivity he decried. Home would want his children or servants to read.
Home also blurs the division between fantasy and reality.
Really High he pops at pop-culture guru Greil Marcus. Indeed, one imagines Home writing the two books simultaneously.
