“‘Heidegger’s Hyphens.’”

“Right. Why that?”

“Well, I wanted to write about the hyphens. Being-in-the-world. The bridges between the words. How things are tied together.”

“Right. I can see that,” he says, flipping through the manuscript. “But why isn’t more Heideggerean?”

“Well, it’s not about that. It’s about the hyphens.”
