Glad to see Kenner's review of what looks like an important volume.  We
all owe Kenner so much, but I'm afraid that his agenda is showing again.
 
Most of us agree that Pound's anti-semitism was constitutive, not
intermittent--it's hard to get through a single page of a single
broadcast without some form of judeophobia, explicit or implicit.  And of
course Leon Surette has shown us all that Pound's ideas about Jews
changed not at all after the war--he always had Jewish friends, even
during his most openly anti-semitic periods.
 
I'll stop there, so anxious am I to see what is erupting on the list even
as I write.
 
And thanks to Hugh W. for alerting us to this review.
