“For a number of years the head of the college has been a crocodile: Her Magnificence Lutembi, but it still came as something of a surprise to some of the old members to have a woman elected, and a non-French woman at that. The college’s complex electoral system ultimately reduces the number of people who can vote down to one. In this case it was the Spanish playwright and filmmaker Fernando Arrabal, author of The Automobile Graveyard, the Labyrinth, and more than 100 other titles and a Transcendent Satrape of the college, and he chose Tanya, of the London bookartbookshop and the London Institute of ‘Pataphysics.” Barry Miles
