re- re- resentiment


Dammit. As so often is the case in scholarship, someone beat me to it. This book looks fantabulous, is right up my alley, and seems to represent what I've been preparing to articulate. Oh well. No doubt it will serve as a good conversation and perhaps sparring partner. I'll add my own weird twist to the discourse via theology.

I'm ordering this book right now.

Oh indeed. That does sound remarkably similar, if your AAR paper was any indication (which was excellent, btw).

I hate it when this happens. I tend to find either that somebody like Rowan Williams does something in like two pages that I planned to take a chapter to do. Or somebody from Oxford (seriously, it's always Oxford) wrote a 500 pg. dissertation on what I wanted to spend two pages on. Fortunately, Oxford seems to be a factory for dissertations doing interesting historical theological work that never get published and hence nobody reads.

Unlike me. Who will totally be read by like millions.

so sad for those oxford dons to be.

i have no doubt that you will be read by millions. i even foresee a talk show.

on a related note, i hope you resurrect Gaunilo's Island sometime. We need Guan Valdez back in the b-sphere.
