I like this Interview with Jonathan Miller. He hates continental philosophers. The last great one was Descartes, he says. "Heidegger is ghastly--he is like an elephant's fart."



The interviewer Shusha Guppy was adored in a previous life, not only by me, for her wonderful recordings simply as Shusha. Two of her albums are reissued on This is the Day, which is seldom far from my CD player. She is now the London editor of The Paris Review.
