Dear John,

I am glad to see your second response to my Baudrillard question... that was getting much closer to what I would like to do with this blog. (Namely, to explore -in depth- the nature of being as witnessed through your eyes)

Anyway, I encourage you to "go to town" with your responses. Our readers certainly expect a certain level of personality from your writing. I would hate to disappoint them.

Before we trek on, I would like to talk about your writing style. I have noticed that you have a pension for three things: the obscure, the French, and the historical. Sometimes you combine all of these into an explosion of literary merit that astounds me.

Would you care to explain your interests, in terms of writing, and how you craft your prose? Write as you would please! I would even encourage you to pick apart and annotate your writing (a la David Foster Wallace) so our readers get a better view of the intricacies of John.


Best,

Matt
