Dear Jim Forest,

Thanks for another delightful post! Personally, I think the essay is a bit harsh on deconstruction. I don't think the deconstruction movement denies all possibility of communication or meaning -- just the idea that there is a fixed meaning that inheres to events apart from our interpretation of them. That a pizza is a pizza is a tower... But perhaps I am not rightly dividing the text! In any case -- thanks.

A friend passed in California this along to me.
