I don`t seem to be getting each and every message posted to the list.
Am I alone in missing out on stuff like Roger Day asking the list
instead of looking up the dictionary; the latest gossip about Don
Paterson? I`m getting the replies and not the original posts. I`m
just worried that one of these days I`ll miss something worthwhile.
Stirling`s last Phantom F/X had its moments. A surprising amount of
hostility towards Prynne, channelled thru me (mistaken for his representative on
Earth). One bloke, a Foucauldian religious nut apparently, shouted
that Prynne "had no balls" because he wasn`t out every day flogging
Living Marxism in the quad; there was no indication that he had even
heard of Prynne before my paper. Another arsehole babbled
incoherently about "French surrealism, Camus and Bataille, and
Derrida and undecidability&c." I said, "I don`t think every text is
undecidable." He looked down his nose and said, "You`ve made that
perfectly clear!" But A.N. Otherbloke just went mental. Later, he
gave me a lift to the station and apologised, said he`d been at
Cambridge with Prynne and had some deep-seated problems about him
that he`d have to talk over with his analyst. The place would be
like a fucking zoo if Nick Royle and a handful of cool graduate
students weren`t there to do good work.
The people I`ve said I`d send copies of my paper to...I`m posting
them out today and tomorrow. Tho` I`m more and more convinced it`s a
comedy John the Baptist to Keston`s Jesus H. Christ.
