Five Works of Theory You Should Consider Reading

[Matthew Cissell]

Well, thanks but it sort of struck me as bollocks.
Comprehension is unimportant. yeh, right.
"five works that lend themselves to a reading strategy conducive to works of fiction or poetry." anybody could toss out a similar list. and they don't 'lend' themselves, they are appropriated.
"to allow the infection of them to circulate through you, the way you greet them is paramount: let go." somebody's read too much French theory. go get some antibiotics.
Glas. see former point.
"she studied with Derrida and Cixous, and she was friends with Kathy Acker, so intellectually speaking she rolls deep." She rolls deep? Is this suppposed to be hip intellectualism? Roll of TP anyone?
Did this get forwarded because of the Pynchon mention?
