There was a New Yorker article from 2021 on Said and Aijaz Ahmad I ripped a page out of, and here it is. It’s page 86. I remember reading the Ahmad critiques of many things and liking it. The New Yorker writer reminds us that Said was not aware of Asian, African, or Latin American … More Said

I am getting rid of my English translation of this novel because the cover is a little dingy and the book looks pedantic to me at the moment. But officially this is precisely the kind of novel I like. Axé.
Tallis on Freud

I liked this piece on a new book and learned a good deal from it. And I want to read this by H.D., especially the section “writing on the wall.” Axé.
