I've never read any intereviews in which Kubrick speaks at any length about pulling Clockwork Orange, but I think there's a brief exchange about it in one of the interviews in _Perspectives on Stanley Kubrick_, which was edited by Mario Falsetto (I think). He says essentially what people have already said, that he pulled the film because of the copycat stuff but still stands behind it. I sometimes don't pay close enough attention to the list, so maybe I missed something, but I'm a little surprised by the silence with which Kubrick's death has been met here. Is that because everybody's tear ducts were worn out by Kurusowa's death, because we've all finally realized the "death of the author" so that individual authors' deaths aren't such a big deal, or because Kubrick is "dated" (or at least out of critical favor)? ******************************************************************************* Sean Desilets * "The only people who * * believe that there is Department of English * a language that is East Hall * * not theoretical are Tufts University * professors of Medford, MA 02155 * * literature."
