Getting Away

Now approaching the end of The Portable Nietzsche. Basically just the  brief Nietzsche Contra Wagner to read and a smattering of the letters that preceded FN's mental breakdown. There's a kind of oddly mounting excitement in the final sequence of works that seems to foreshadow that breakdown. Brilliant de-stabilising yet repetitive ideas are fired off in an oddly random manner. I'm glad I got so close to the thinker through Kaufmann's selection but I'll be happy to get away from him.
