Spritzer on Ice in New York City
Linked please find the text of an essay written for public performance but never delivered, under the title: "Spritzer on Ice in New York City: or, There and Back Again." The title was chosen, not to indicate the content of the essay, but as a humorous tribute to two people I believed would be in the audience. Only one of them was actually at the event where I failed to deliver this paper. In short, very little went according to plan with regard to this essay. This is where you come in.
For those who can't read a book without first studying the back of the book, my essay is about the relationship between the symbolic order and subjectivity. It comes to conclusions that are generally Hegelian. Toward the end, I indulge in a little name dropping, then do a little Christian stuff, concluding with a reference to the parable that has appeared in many of my latest works.
