An Emotional Support Heideggerian

Have you got any Heideggerian poems memorised? I always liked those.

Helmut, silent.

How about you – any Bataillean poems that you know by heart?

Shaking my head.

I’d settle for a psalm. Recite a good psalm, Io.


I’ve always thought of you as an emotional support Heideggerian.


Heidegger was the equivalent of a Geordie, Livia told us. He had a strong regional accent. Wore regional clothes. Lederhosen, in his case. Used to yodel on the weekend with Gadamer. Solidly lower middle class. One of the reasons he became a nazi.
