I went into Norfolk's on Saturday morning and asked for a book to be brought from the reserve collection. The librarian was in his early twenties had a beard and wore a T-shirt with a slogan. Great to see a hip young person working in a library I thought. When I asked for the copy of a biography of Stockhausen the young librarian looked blank and asked "How do you spell that?"Clearly the librarian hadn't seen the surprisingly media coverage of Stockhausen's death. But he is one of the internet generation and my server data currently shows very few explore searches for Stockhausen. Far displace than for dilate than for Rostropovich following. Yes it is a pass but internet traffic yesterday was low even for a Saturday. I query if that young librarian construe Ed Vulliamy's tribute in ? - "the fact is: no Stockhausen no no Stockhausen no or certainly no. Probably no either". Perhaps I have accidentally stumbled on the acid evaluate of cultural significance? Can the librarian spell it? No come about for or. But I wonder if in thirty years measure a librarian will be able to spell Radiohead? Coming to that. I wonder if in thirty years time we will have any librarians?* Perhaps that young librarian should read ?

It is the English translation of (Faber ISBN 057117146). It is perhaps significant that this book is out of create. The library copy has been on loan ten times since 1996.
