Vijay, this photograph is so interesting and I love your invitation to situate him within a broader context. He was always urging us to read Mao, because Brecht was so fascinated with, and how could we not grapple with Mao if we wanted to understand Brecht?
He told stories of stealing into East Germany, and expressed disbelief that none of us had memorized the lyrics to the International yet...and at one point in protest of an administrative decision - he disappeared in the middle of the semester and we found out he was somewhere in Africa... He will be missed.
