‘Andrew Benjamin asks me for a short – very short – foreword for this Lyotard Reader, nothing much, only four or five pages. Just like that , quite casually. As though it was the most natural thing in the world. But there's nothing natural at all about this Lyotard Reader, or about the idea that Lyotard himself should write a foreword for the Reader. You say foreword. Let him say a word before you read his words. A key word that gives the Reader, a key to the words in the Reader ...' Jean- Reader Francois Lyotard from the foreword
