A hand holding an envelope with handwritten address, placed on top of a book titled 'The Origin of the Conscious Brain' by J. H. S. Leech. The envelope's text mentions a location in Newport, Oregon, and an address at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, along with a message about a man and slices of something. The envelope has a postage stamp with American flag and 'FREEDOM' label. The background shows green foliage and white balcony railings.

Hey, you are not John Cayley..

But did you know about his published works:

René Girard was a thinker who fits no category. His ideas fit no academic niche, but they attracted many followers during his long career as a teacher and writer. A large annual conference, “The Colloquium on Violence and Religion,” is devoted entirely to his ideas, as is a journal, Contagion. Those who participate in these conventions believe that Girard’s insights are an intellectual breakthrough.
