10 Years After

Alright Hear This

My Writing in Professions instructor had a minor stroke last week. He told us how right after the stroke he had problems talkings. He could think in sentences in his brain, but when he went to talk it all came out garbled- and he was aware of this, but couldn't correct it.

He joked that if he started speaking in another language to let him know. Then he told us how when he went to University of Alabama that Derrida was there as a guest speaker. In his words, "If you think he's incomprehensible as a writer then you should try to listen to him give lectures." He said that Derrida would make some statement that would visibly confuse the audience. To ensure that he was understand Derrida would then reinterate the statement in French. Met again with a puzzled audience he would then restate it again, only this time in German. With the audience still puzzled he would then give up and proceed again in English with his lecture.
