The back of the book says he's a professor of philosophy at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

As to comments from other quarters, no commentary or interpretation of
Nietzsche's work can be authoritative, just hopefully informative and
revealing. There certainly are interpretations that I, personally, don't
cared for, principally Danto's and Maud-Marie Clark's, both of which I felt
distorted and purposefully misinterpreted Nietzsche's text, for reasons I
care not to even speculate on, but that is _my_ opinion. Nobody else has to
agree. As far as Herr Heidi is concerned, his interpretation of Nietzsche is
also a purposeful misinterpretation on his part, although I trust he has his
"philosophical" reasons for it.
