LAST WORKS ~

———————————

Strong, personal, deep-seated essays on

Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Blanchot, Freud,

Derrida, Poe, Woolf, Hemingway,

David Foster Wallace, Melville,

Thoreau —

with now and then odd quibbles:

the author describes Melville's Pittsfield home "Arrowhead"

which "lay at the base of Mount Greylock."

Far from it, miles away. Greylock actually 

overwhelms the small old mill town of Adams

which lays at the base of Mount Greylock.

Quibbles. Stones in a spring stream rushing

down the Thunderbolt Trail.

An important book.
