Cofused

I saw this Lewis Hyde lecture at the ALOUD lecture series at the Los Angeles Public library and casually mentioned this to X whereupon he became utterly enraged. (see posting below)

But because someone has to discuss this:

a) Peter Sellars was interviewing Hyde, but he wasn't interviewing him as much as making love to him. Mercilessly flirting with him to the point that the whole audience was blushing! On stage! It was very embarrassing. Lewis Hyde looked like he wanted to punch Peter Sellars in the face and then copyright it.

and

b) Hyde was wearing a sparkly purple crushed velvet shawl over his dress shirt. Sooo confused. He is clearly not gay. Did Peter Sellers make him put it on right before they went out saying "Oh this will look cute"and Lewis Hyde thought it was just some regular sweater ?

I hope someone who was there can explain. It's inconsequential but necessary.
