Re: Geoffrey Nunberg, GOING NUCULAR

I wrote: "Treat with the same doubt  the assertions of politicians and commentators, learning from Geoffrey Nunberg to catch the overtones or undertones of the words they use".  From the UK, John Heelan comments "and, according to Pierre Macherey,  the silences where they should have said something; the very silence itself conveying a message, intended or not".  RH: On Macherey and hs "seminal" book, see Pierre Macherey: Pour une théorie de la production littéraire (Paris, Maspero, 1966); Pierre Macherey, A Theory of Literary Production (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1978).
