Timothy Clark has a new book out, The Poetics of Singularity:

forms an ethically compelling alternative to the currently dominant cultural/social studies paradigm in literary criticism, a neo-Darwinian understanding of art and life which is sometimes only a disguised version of American nationalism.

Whatever. A friendly American girl once told me it takes a submissive bottom to recognize a dominant paradigm. I am curious about the chapter on Heidegger's Dream of Singularization. Here's a singularity compelling (definition: To exert a strong, irresistible force on; sway) the real universe.

That is the essential swaying of be-ing itself. We call it enowning.
