Save us from the saviours

[Matthew Cissell]

Thanks for sending that New Statesman piece; I might just see that documentary. That Johann Hari really sticks it to Z, maybe even more than is deserving. To say that, "these very positions are admissions that postmodernism is merely an unserious confection by intellectuals" is really a greater dismissal than I could venture.

ps Hey Dave, thanks for all the stuff you send out. Where do you find the time?
