Richard Kostelanetz

I enjoy his writing immensely, however the ONE thing that I can not most stand about him (and his writing) is that he spells Aesthetics, Esthetics. This coupled with his notoriously "talky style" in using common language like he was talking to you over a cup of coffee instead of the MORE appropriate way of using the most convoluted and confusing verbiage to completely obscure any hope of ever seeing teh terra del firma again one begins to feel (as is the PROPER way) lost in a miasma of interlocutory circumlocution (locquatiously speaking, quid-pro-quo). See [Intellegencia] So, instead hi s wors are notoriously easy to understand; despite a tendency to insert adverbs prior to a comparative clause; viz, "[McLuhan's] similarly improvised perceptions were sociologically more substatntial. (I realise that this must be due to the fact frankly more likely than not his name (Kostelanetz) has only one 'a' in it, and far too many 'e's. ;) Enjoy the writing of one Hoopy Frood (I flip my towel in the general direction of the reference stacks) "Dictionary of Avant-Gardes", ISBN 1-55652-202-9
