Subject: Re: Phantasmic Radio by Allen Weiss


I look forward to seeing this volume, which hasn't reached UCI yet.  Weiss'
work on Bataille, et al., and excess is I think quite interesting and
provocative.  He is a "weaver of evidence" and an orchestrator of imagery in
quite powerful ways.  I have taught THE AESTHETICS OF EXCESS a number of
times, always generating lively discussion out of it.
