The following forward is from John the Deconstructionist. He sent this
to me from a different e-mail acct. and asked me to forward them to
bananafish. I didn't change a thing. Honest.
Bla-hahahahaaaaaa!

(Thanks for forwarding, Jim.)
Camille,
On a sadly serious note, I'm afraid Baudrillard has not been well. I saw
him
several years ago in Canada after he had stopped teaching and his health
was
already fluctuating. It has, I'm afraid, gotten worse recently. I'm not
sure
as to his latest status, but I'm afraid that he is no longer writing. I
teach
his book on Simulations and his two books on America (*America* and *Cool
Memories*) sometimes in one of my courses, and I'd ike to teach the book
on
Seduction soon. Although I'm not as up on his work as on Derrida's and
certainly I have more problems with some of his rhetoric (his
deliberately
dramatic, carefully constructed carelessness worries me sometimes), I do
enjoy
his provocations.
Yours,
--John
