kind of the bad boy of letters. He did not get along
well with administrators or with other people and
he was always quarreling with other faculty
members and so on. I love his quarrelsome
disposition, his flair for theatre. There are all kinds
of things about him that I find very attractive. The
only problem is that he never wrote his master
work. That is the issue, is that he wrote several
early books, and they were like collections of
essays of his. I think that has cost him his
reputation in the long run. But even Norman O.
Brown, who did write a master work, Life Against
Death , has in some way been displaced by the
influx of French theory.
