Music for the Royal Fireworks

JONATHAN RABAN explores the thesis that contemporary art. in all fields, is increasingly preoccupied with self-criticism. He discusses the work of Borges and Nabokov, among others, to illustrate his view that we're in the middle of a Gothic revival: an art of self-regarding twists and curlicues. of monstrous, whimsical mansions. ' And he closes with a question: are these sophisticated triumphs, or symptoms of psychosis?
