I agree, the Father Christmas essay is such a witty piece.

For those who speak French, I posted a link to archive video and audio material (mostly interviews LS did) here http://www.urbi-orbi.net/2009/11/farewell-lv

I’d be fun if someone was to collect the stories told about Levi-Strauss and subject them to some of his own analysis techniques…It seems that there are a bunch of good ones floating about and it might be a fitting memorial of a sort. Analyzing anthropologist’s culture through the myths and stories we tell and pass along…

Scott Atran has also posted an account of his encounter with Levi-Strauss during the mid-70s, at Cognition and Culture: http://tinyurl.com/yekpsgc
