DEAR LORD WHIMSY...
Hello Lord Whimsy,

i am a student of English from Germany who is currently writing on his Bachelor Thesis (Aspects of time and memory in the dandyism of Oscar Wilde and his Picture of Dorian Gray) and in my last chapter i am planning to draw an outlook on dandyism today...(if it really exists which is the question, isnt it...?)

i came across the ARTE TRACKS DOCUMENTARY on German tv where you were featured...

so if you don't mind, here is what i would like to ask you (questions attached, below)...

Hello Bjorn,

Thank you for your kind interest. I must say you've posed some very interesting questions (although I should note that I probably think so because your questions pertain to me personally). I'm a bit pressed for time right now, but I'll try to answer them as thoroughly as I can:

How important is 'time' in your life and you being a dandy? )

Are you afraid of aging (who isn't one could say)? )

How important is time to you in your daily schedule? Or how do you experience time during the course of the day? )

Do you think you will be remembered after your death in the cultural / literary 'memory' of NYC, America or even world wide? )

If you believe yes, is that one of your intentions of being a dandy? )

Do you plan on writing more books, perhaps in different literay genres? if yes, which? )

Do you feel 'prominent' dandys of the past had or still have an influence on your dandyims? )

Do you feel in some way as an artist / Do you see yourself as an artist? )

Do you differentiate between public and private sphere in your dandyism? )

~W
