[lbo-talk] Somewhat Off-Topic Request

[C. G. Estabrook]

Terry Eagleton, the English Marxist critic, has written interestingly  
on Wittgenstein. For some leads, see his

"Wittgenstein's Friends" in Against the Grain (1986) <http://www.newleftreview.org/?view=409 

 >; also

<http://faculty.ed.uiuc.edu/burbules/syllabi/Materials/Eagleton.html>  
and

"Wittgenstein: The Terry Eagleton Script and the Derek Jarman Film"  
Derek Jarman (Author), Colin MacCabe (Preface).

And to supplement the well-received Monk bio, try Bruce Duffy's 1987  
novel, "The World As I Found It."  --CGE
