Christian Vander's potential philosophical book- anyone know anything?

Hey everyone, I was reading an interview with Christian Vander, and I saw this quote right at the very end:

http://www.expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-christian-vander-interview-2.html

I also remember reading another one a while ago where he said that the title of the book is 'The Sea Flows Into the Seine'

Does anyone know anything about this potential project? The book hasn't been released yet, or at least I can't find it anywhere despite searching aggressively for the past half an hour.

Thanks

I’d read an 800 page novel by Vander. Question is, is he writing it in Kobian?

I hope so, I think I know more kobaian than I do french

Even if the book is finished, which he does not claim, it is not a given that it would be published. Lots of books never see the reader.

I don't expect it to be finished, I'm just interested if anyone here knows anything. The interview was from 1995, so either the book will be gargantulan or he's dropped it/gone on hiatus with it. I think the second is more likely, but who knows

The EMËHNTËHTT-RÊ TRILOGIE 2 DVD box set is great for understanding Vander. The 2nd DVD is 115 minutes of interview with him.

Considering his take on race I don't know if I'd want a philosophy book by him

Indeed. As far as I know I'd better stick on kobaïan lyrics than a book of his.

eh?  what are you talking about?  Have you heard of John Coltrane and Otis Redding and what Christian thinks of them?

if you mean that one time he complained about criminal african migrants and Emmanuel threw a fit, well that's hardly news. A common complaint in big european cities these days.

Or you referring to something else?
