author edward said dies

Edward Said was an all over the map kind of person. Just this side of being an enigma he was a comfortable gadfly - which is what a professor of mine once dismissed him as even as he assigned readings by him. He didn't seem afraid of being foolish, maybe he didn't realize he was. Whether throwing rocks at Israel, which he once did as a grand symbolic gesture of some purpose or other. Or accusing Yasir Arafat of selling out the Palastinian people - which Arafat certainly did, but perhaps not the way Said was thinking. Said always flirted with not being able to be taken seriously. Still everything I read by him I always counted as being worthwhile read. I am sad he will write no more.
