Arjuna, Verdun, Madman’s Dead God

[August 2008]

Hi Robert.
Please, if you have some thoughts (maybe after some reflection), I would be very grateful… can we in our time accept the conversation and conclusions of Arjuna and Krishna… at Verdun? Normandy? Auschwitz? the Khmer Rouge rice fields? Rwanda? (even if the content is true!?)

Had an idea the other day: “sinners in the hands of an absent God.”

And writing to you it occurs to me that Nietzsche’s madman described death in absentia! (pretty damn good, if I may be immodest a bit!)
