""she is caught, dark, embodied, solid, against the face of
the sun,-- a Goddess descended from light to Matter.""
>From Mendelson's Postscript (1973)
His reading of GR, he claims (and I think he is correct),
confirms his reading of CL, as presented in his essay, "The
Sacred, the Profane, and The Crying of Lot 49."
In that Postscript Mendelson says, "the book's [GR] final
coherence, like that of the earlier book is religious."
In all this BS about what is at the center of GR, did anyone
talk about the Jewish Religion(s)? Yes, Religion is what
hold all these books together, it's what connects them.
"I think the Hereros had as much to do with it as von Trotha
did."
That's what TRP wrote to Hirsch. What does he mean?
He's talking about their religion, right?
What happened when the
west/christian/analytic/alianated/german/ponographic/calculus/etc.
came in contact with
the Herero? Genocide.
You won't find a good argument for the Holocaust being
present of absent from GR in anything that does not explain
the Jewish Religion(s) in GR.
