"To the point of absurdity, but still true enough" according to epic phlegm Hooha. McLuhan is a comic hero for me.

At times playful and at times profound, his letters offer an invaluable commentary on McLuhan's work and, in some instances, the most lucid and detailed explanation of his ideas available. McLuhan corresponded with a vast number of people, from Hubert Humphrey and Jimmy Carter to
