... yeah, again, I don't really come along with a Reading (though you'll note I
have no problem arguing with one, improvising a tentative one, at least). And,
apart from my own occasional opinions, I am rather content to pass along the
occasional interesting bit of information, it's generally what I do ("Am an
attendant Lord ..."). Haven't followed up on those opening lines from Franz
Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks (anyone?), but think there are clues aplenty in
that Smith essay, for example, certainly, something to discuss, beyond anything
in particular I might do with it, beyond The Crying of Lot 49, to which it might
be most immediately applicable (say, the end of GR, the clocks in V.) ... no
offense taken, again, hope none given ...
