It is appalling that this man has been so enormously influential in the Western academic world precisely since 1945, when one would have thought that he would be avoided like a leper. <br />One example of this was his influence on the Jewish poet and Holocaust survivor Paul Celan. James Lyon has a book about the relationship between them; apparently Celan read him partly because his language was so influential that he felt he needed to do so in order to engage with his audience and at the same time put up a sort of smoke screen so that they wouldn't catch on too fast to what he was really saying. Unfortunately Heidegger has also influenced many critics of Celan's work so that their "explanations" are harder to understand than the poems themselves. Heidegger is a kind of fog machine, and I guess that is why so many people have found him useful.<br />I would have liked to write you a letter but don't have an address for you. I was directed to you by a friend who thought you might be interested in my book, Western Art and Jewish Presence in the Work of Paul Celan, for which I'm seeking reviewers; a flyer is posted at www.derondareview.org/bookonPaulCelan.htm I'm hoping this book will shed some light on the deep issues between Judaism and Western culture and will be grateful for any advice or help on how to get it known. Please excuse this way of contacting you; as said, I don't know any other and really hope you will find my work of interest.
