Edward Said: And No-one Listened

"I just felt I couldn't write for the American media anymore... they just turned into mouthpieces of the status quo."

The second greatest man I ever met.

We were at the Dome next to Brighton Pavilion and I wanted to ask him about that great monument to Orientalism.
And how 'Edward Said' sounds like the title for a Velvet Underground song.
But I didn't have the time.
He signed his book.
Then he died.
