Kind out-of-the-blue email from veteran Vancouver journalist Lee Bacchus, a byline I read with pleasure as a teenager in the mid- to late- 1980s, when he regularly appeared in the Vancouver Sun:

"Read that Wall quote on your consistently interesting blog today.

A book you might find helpful (perhaps you've slogged through it already) is Terry Eagleton's The Ideology of the Aesthetic (Blackwell, 1990) , in which he traces the aesthetic realm (and its evil twin — hegemony) from Shaftsbury through to Adorno and then the post-modernists. It's dense in parts (Kant, as always, is a brick) but it shines some lights in new places (at least for my tiny brain).

Wall, I think, is closest to Adorno in spirit."
