Well known in Romanian literary and journalistic circles in the 1920's, he emigrated to France in 1923, and became a vital figure in literary criticism and existential philosophy in the inter-war period, the sole disciple of the Russian emigre philosopher Lev Shestov. Fondane was above all a poet, for whom the theater and cinema were also essential dimensions. Although fascinated both by the memories of the shted and the myths of Greece, he moved away from the pure aesthetics of Athens and its holiness of beauty, towards, if not the beauty of holiness, then beyond Good and Evil, away from Reason and its laws and towards Law, away from Justice towards the just, towards the visceral and premonitory cry of Job and the prophets. But this path had a gap, a gulf, an abyss, a void, something missing and indefinable, as we can see in the very titles of his books: the film scenarii for his Cin'podmes were \"unmakeable,\" his plays \"unstageable,\" Ulysses (Ulysse) was forever the wandering Jew, Rimbaud was a \"hoodlum\" (Rimbaud le voyou), the Titanic did not stay afloat, his aesthetic treatise was \"false\" (Faux trait6 d'esthetique), his consciousness \"unhappy\" (La Conscience malheureuse), Baudelaire experienced the \"abyss\" (Baudelaire et 1'exp&ience du gouffre). The title he wanted given to his poetic work spoke of this trouble or hurt: he called it the pain, unease or sickness of phantoms, ancestors of memories: Le Mal des fant6mes.","PeriodicalId":312913,"journal":{"name":"Cardozo Studies in Law and Literature","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127907441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two writers were bound by a strong friendship, and Fondane's philosophy remained close to that of his teacher in spite of a few differences. Some of these will be presented in this essay. Fondane, born in Romania in 1898, had a special interest in Shestov's writings since 1923, the year he published in Bucharest his first impressions on Les Rv1lations de la mort. Fondane was deeply influenced by Shestov's thinking, which he declared to be of a significance not replicated since Pascal. Their first encounter in Paris (at the home of Jules de Gaultier) was an unexpected surprise for Fondane. Soon thereafter, Shestov realized that his young friend could understand his philosophy at a much deeper level than any of his previous admirers: \"Je suis tellement habitue... a ce qu'on m'ecrive que j'ai du talent... que voila peut-?tre la premiere fois que quelqu'u n comprend la question elle-meme.\" [\"I am so used to seeing people note that I have talent that this is perhaps the first time that someone understands the questions themselves.\"]T Their friendship developed along the basis of a mutual exchange of ideas, and so Fondane the poet metamorphosed into a philosopher. Shestov, on the other hand, was a born philosopher. Philosophy was naturally part of him without any effort and without following any dogma. His clear mind and accessible language allowed for depth and free thinking unbound by unnecessary dogma. Fondane was attracted by Shestov's writings as well as the man himself. As Natalie Baranoff, Shestov's daughter, described their friendship, \"C'e'tait plut6t celle d'un litte'rateur et d'un philosophe qu'une relation d'amitie: filiale.\" [\"It was more a relationship of literary type and philosophy than one of filial friendship.\"]2 However, in Fondane's published correspondence we witness another truth: \"je vous attends avec impatience, vous pouvez venir n'importe quel jour et quelle heure[.]\" [\"I await you impatiently, you may visit any time you wish.\"]3 Shestov provided constant support for his young friend, whom he encouraged and also criticized because of his difficulty in letting go of literary expression: \"Il","PeriodicalId":312913,"journal":{"name":"Cardozo Studies in Law and Literature","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127707396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was December during Advent; I was living on campus, and the event caused me to reflect in a special and particular way. For while I had no direct connection to Merton, the relationship of each of us to Columbia was a significant one. His words in The Seven Storey Mountain about the University which we both appreciated had always struck me as so accurate. \"Poor Columbia! It was founded by sincere Protestants as a college predominately religious. The only thing that remains of that is the University motto: In lumine tuo videbimus lumen one of the deepest and most beautiful lines of the psalms: 'In Thy light, we shall see light.' It is, precisely, about grace. It is a line that might serve as the foundation stone of all Christian and Scholastic learning, and which simply has nothing whatever to do with the standards of education at modern Columbia.\"'","PeriodicalId":312913,"journal":{"name":"Cardozo Studies in Law and Literature","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125384869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Genet consented to talk to me because he liked Barney a lot and deeply respected what that brave publisher had achieved in the hot and heavy battles for freedom of expression, sexual and political, during the '60's. Like Genet, Barney had a hankering to incite revolution, that's why Genet liked him. It wasn't easy for me to find Genet who rarely gave interviews, was said to be constantly shifting his abode, and had no fixed address much less a telephone. His French editor told me not to worry, however, because from time to time the author came by to pick up messages, etc; and that once Genet learned that I wanted to speak to him about Barney Rosset, he would surely agree to meet with me he liked Barney that much. And so he did. A couple of days after my phone call to his editor, Genet climbed out of a taxi that pulled up before my door. He looked like a sweet-faced bum, someone who'd just been let out of prison, who was wearing the same clothes he'd slept in, including shoes and socks. There was nothing gay about him a point I mention here because of the misleading caricature of Genet, in that respect, which appeared in The New York Review of Books on October 21, 1993, for Tony Judt's review of Edmund White's biography, Genet.2 I think Genet did not much like my looks and wasn't impressed when I introduced myself as a professor of law and First Amendment lawyer.
