Swimming With Harold Bloom

Welcome to The Life Raft! Dry off and stake a claim to some rations.

Just when you thought semiotics was getting a little dry, here's a spot that puts the "fun" back in "funtionalism" and seeks to find the "id" in "ideology."

In other words, what on earth are people talking about?

We'll take a look at politics, criticism, pornography, journalism and anything else that strikes our fancy, all with an eye to understanding how, when and why people say what they mean, and what its means that they say it.

Break out your decoder rings -- it is stormy out here!
