Subject: Re: Moor's Last Sigh site


Hi, I'm writing to say I haven't seem the Rushdie site but did want to 
put in a little post about having seen Rushdie as part of our NEH Summer 
seminar. WE went to a talk-reading to hear Rushdie at Oxford and had him 
sign books. Then the next day at a book signing at Dillons we had the 
opportunity to say a few words to him. Though I have criticised him in 
the past in Public Culture, I have to say it was a real pleasure to meet 
Mr. Rushdie particularly in the light of my diacritics article. Thanks to 
all on the net who said nice things about that article and to those who 
interjected interesting comments It was very interesting listeneing to 
Rushdie read from Moor's Last Sigh. It brought very interesting 
contextual information to light. Then at a German conference in 
Heidelberg Terry Eagleton made some very interesting comments-- in 
general-- about the problems of self-reflexivity in those critics who 
constantly refer to the context. I'll have to think about all this and 
write something else. Just thought you all would be intersted in knowsing 
that Rushdie is accessible now. Feroza
