To B karp and J Mello
Jansy Mello: LH, you are an expert in inviting us to guess, go after
quotations and book references, read past postings...In that way I run
the
risk of becoming referentially consistent! Did I write anti-Freudians,
or
was the "you" someone else? Barrie Karp wrote: I think he was making
fun of
anti-Freudians as well as certain kinds of Freudians he had in mind
(probably mainly popularized vulgarized notions of them), and of
didactic
writers. And yet, his sentence mainly suggests VN's criticism of those
who
follow him to the letter, an inference, something that doesn't
necessarily
demand directly quotable examples.
LH: The "you" was B Karp, who writes: "I think he was making fun of
anti-
Freudians as well as certain kinds of Freudians"
Hence my question, as it seems to me that VN, whether he was right or
wrong
in doing so, never once made fun of anti-Freudians and ALWAYS made fun
of
ALL kinds of Freudians.
