Abstract

159 Questioning the Question CHARLES E. SCOTT Vanderbilt University I hope that all of you will be so fortunate to have such readers for your books as I have now for mine. In this discourse of friendship, which might have an accord that is other than ethical, I would like to begin with David's hardest question, the question of the "balance of pain and gladness" in my work. It is, of course, an embarrassing and interrupting question and related to several of Rebecca's sharpest inquiries. Interwoven in this question about pain and gladness is David's notation that the two books are of thought in full possession of itself as it overturns and loses itself- the pain and gladness of self-possession in dispossession, pain and gladness in self-overcoming and recoiling. The language of difference-not the book but the language- interrupts identity and unity and thus interrupts self-possession. It also arises out of such interruptions. It-the language of difference-weaves its threads with many different hands many of which want a unified pattern.
