First things first–Peter Tieryas (a writer whose own work I admire, author of the collection Watering Heaven) wrote perhaps the most unorthodox review of Understories to date for Punchnel’s Journal, in which he seized upon the almost-title story, “The Understory,” as a leaping-off point for re-examining his own relationship to Heidegger’s philosophy, and his attempts many years ago at Berkeley to grapple with Heidegger’s Nazi affiliations. http://www.punchnels.com/first-person/heidegger-and-the-understory/.

Peter and his wife Angela are also brilliant filmmakers, and he’s taken the further step of transforming his review/memoir/essay into a video which he connects his experience to the stories and steeps us in additional layers of incredible imagery. I can only marvel, express my gratitude, and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Also, you haven’t truly lived till you’ve seen Heidegger walking toward himself.
