(urth) general video discussing Wolfe and literature

[Daniel Otto Jack Petersen]

Great, Marc!  Loved the section on Trip Trap especially.  I think I've not
consciously tried to understand where Wolfe fits in between Modernism and
Postmodernism all this time and I think  you summed it up nicely:  he kind
of uses the trappings of postmodernism to undermine its commitment to utter
fragmentation and subjectivity.  Very sly, as you'd expect from Wolfe.  I
think that's why his works are so rich at many levels:  that of reader
enjoyment/engagement, that of deep literary analysis, that of philosophy
and theology, that of sheer spirituality, that of symbolism, and so on.
You get all the 'play'  and 'reader-response' of pomo but with a profound
sense of a deeper underlying structure that really stays put, so real it
can make you shiver.

Thanks.  I look forward to the next.
