While I recognize the names, maybe, I'm not familiar with "sort
of post-communists", would you explain?

End Selected Bibliography

But don't forget Luce Irigary, Eve Sedgwick, Diane Fuss and the
others in my post; they are equally important.

And, not insignificantly, many of these writers were brought to
my attention my a brilliant architect in NYC who is pursuing a
truly extraordinary line of non-university research and
creative study. Soon to be published, I hope, in some yet
undecided forum, maybe on-line.
