lyotard makes the comment (in postmodern fables) that the fables of
postmodernism don't ask to be believed, only to be reflected upon ...

salvos aside, has anyone read the latest (and probably last) lyotard?
signed, malraux?  it's an interesting book, altho i read it with one half of
my attention trying to figure out why lyotard wrote it ...

it reminded me a bit of sartre's book on genet (which lyotard mentions
critically ... in fact, almost everyone in the book is mentioned critically
...).

any thots?

brent ...
