Has anyone read much Edmund Jabes? He's a poet, exiled from Egypt during the Suez Canal crisis ('56? '58?). He constructs the figure of the "jew" in much the same register as "the foreigner" here: "the indivisible remainder"; the exile. Rats I wish I had him in hand right now.
It's been awhile since I've read him, but he sure left an impression. _The Book of Questions_ is highly relevant here.
