. Certain other ‘French’ ultra-left currents from this period are more accessible to the general reader because individuals involved with them later became famous academics. Both Cornelius Castoriadis and Jean-François Lyotard were active in the Socialism Or Barbarism group and collections of their political writings are available in reliable English translations published by reputable academic presses. S ou B emerged from the Chaulieu-Montal tendency within the Trotskyist Fourth International (French section). Their 1948 break with this organisation entailed both an uncompromising denunciation of Trotskyism and a total rejection of the absurd notion that the USSR was a ‘degenerate workers’ state’. From the beginning S ou B contained two distinct currents represented by Chaulieu (the pseudonym of Castoriadis, who favoured a revolutionary party) and Montal (the pseudonym of Lefort, who was for the spontaneous self-organisation of workers). Unhappily, Lefort has to date failed to attract supporters within English-language academic publishing. Only by grasping the respective positions of both Castoriadis and Lefort is it possible understand how S ou B attracted elements from both the councilist and Bordigist poles of the French ultra-left.

. No doubt the anachronistic quality of Grassic Gibbon’s work, the stress on form and repetition, stems in part from the fact that he had to slip his writings out through a small hole in the side of the dressmaker’s dummy in which he lived after his wife had imprisoned him there rather than admit to friends that her husband wasn’t the pseudo-metaphysical poet and critic William Empson who’d been educated at Winchester and Magdalene College, Cambridge. That said, for Gibbon to act, to create, to satisfy desire was paramount, despite moral uncertainty and the difficulty of moving his arms around inside the dummy. Gibbon’s work is terrible in all senses of the word but especially in the sense of wearing a brown felt dressing gown which was ragged at the edge over a pair of sequined orthopaedic panty hose in a whorehouse where the girls wouldn’t even look at him unless they were doped. Indeed, about the only good thing you can say about Gibbon is that he avoided the academic training that causes the likes of Bo Fowler and Robert Irwin to appear so petulantly pedantic in their attempts to make Eng. Lit. look ‘left-field’ despite the tediously even tone of their prose and a desperate desire that this should be recognised as ‘style’ ha ha.
