Mr. Contemptus Mundi

"Preparing to interview Mark Simpson is similar to having an appointment with a new psychotherapist. You are a little nervous yet hopeful. The secret is that within the interaction the client and therapist are actually interviewing each other to see if they can work together, if they “click.” With his frequent references to Derrida and Baudrillard it is easy to see why asking Simpson about his opinions on modern pop culture stands the interviewer on shaky intellectual ground."
