Hi Jill
Delighted you enjoyed The Riddle - The Crow is out here and the UK next May
(the UK is catching up - but not in the US until late 2007). I just
finished those bloody appendices - what a struggle - they're as much work
now as if I really were researching, as I have to cross check everything...
Yes, the Mallarme book is a lovely object, as much as anything. I imagine
they would be very funny read out loud. Did he read from the French as well?
It's great to have it en face.
I now have added Giorgo Agamben's Means Without End, which looks
fascinating, and Avery F Gordon's Ghostly Matters to my pile. But I confess
they stayed there - last night I went to bed and read Terry Pratchett. A bit
too tired for philosophy and lit crit, I fear -
All best
A
