I think David H. mentioned Joel Nickels "Post-Avant-Gardism: Bob Perelman and the Dialectic of Futural Memory" from the current issue of Postmodern Culture. You did, right David? Ideas from the essay could come into our conversation, too-- there are some curious claims made therein. But anyway, still waiting, as I have been since you first announced yourself. Hope it's really not Goodbye! (and remember that you still should acknowledge to the List your second email address. You also owe me, if you are to be *truly* serious, some gesture of apology for the very personal innuendoes slung yesterday. But as I said, you do what you think is right in that regard. We can exchange ideas ideas in any case, if you proffer them appropriately.)
