Subject: Re: Leibniz (sources)


Thanks for moving to speak, A.!
	Let me fire away as well (have people received my two rants?).
I'm a freshly-minted PhD now teaching at a Shreveport liberal-arts
college.  In English I specialize in eighteenth-century and Romantic lit,
while doing that theory thang.
	THE FOLD is one of the last Deleuze works for me to read, and it
always seduces and terrifies me.  His style is so careful,
intimately-wrought, charming, and referential that I cannot resist; yet
the breadth of his referentiality and my baby-level Leibniz stun me at
every other page.  One of the reasons I helped start this gorup up is to
get some help...
