...with Robert Oventile. I've written for diacritics and grew up with them as a young scholar. I like the interview a lot. It's the first one I did on the book Hell.
Are you up for a back and forth? I read the interview. It covers a lot of ground. You are a nice person. You give space in your discussions for possibilities. So am I (I think). But... my art tutors at UAL and Falmouth MA programs all rave about you.... they worship you in fact. But I think while OOO is probably morally wealthy, it seems philosophically, or perhaps ontologically bankrupt. I would be delighted to discover how and why I am wrong. How does the discrete existence of objects that you postulate ontologically reconcile with their ambiguity of label and perception that you rely upon for their unique self-nature? Maybe I'm misreading things.
Can I interview you or email you rather than ruining your beautiful blog with my chatter?
