Explicitly not tooting my own horn but did others here find the first three
chapters difficult?  Maybe it was who was teaching it (I'll always be
indebted to Richie Schuldenfrei and Braulio Munoz), or maybe it was how I
was raised (anti-reductionist spatial-thinking via dad's physics and mom's
anthropology), but I remember that first reading as absolutely thrilling in
its resonance with all kinds of questions and issues I didn't know were
floating around unanswered or unexplored in the back of my mind.  Surely, I
didn't begin to capture the depth of the text but the method felt so so so
right.

There are folks who've described my writing as Germanic, where dependent and
expository clauses abound (though maybe this comes from hating grammar and
refusing to learn how to diagram sentences in grade school). Others have
said that German is better for and works more naturally with relational
approaches.  Is this what you were wondering about SA? Anyone?
