For The New York Times, Noam Chomsky is ‘arguably the most important intellectual alive.’ Chomsky is a voice of clear activism in the US. He gave him a literary portrait in which he wrote: ‘Today’s Russia is the result of utopia! The only thing utopia has done, it sent the farmer Yuri Gagarin into space’, and as a gift, the book World in Fragments by Castoriadis, translated by Curtis. He wrote about him in the Eccentric Portraits (2007).
