A New Collaboration

Michel Houellebecq, author of Submission and other notable works, is under investigation for remarks about Muslims.

We may be seeing a new version of the Vichy government in France.

Two Blogs About Life

 I recall the days when Nicholas Bate was darting off from Oxford, teaching workshops in Asia one week and in Europe another. During that time, he was producing a flow of highly practical books on business. 

It was exciting when he expanded to writing novels.

More and more, his blog is about a life well lived.

Kurt Harden has revealed similar interests and truths. While Nicholas is a go-to authority on The Beatles, Kurt's musical interests are harder to pinpoint since they are so diverse.

Each is extraordinary. Both are wise and well-grounded. They give valuable perspectives on life.

Always worth a visit.

First Paragraph

 We need to talk about white identity. Not as a fabrication designed to maintain power, but as a set of myths and symbols to which people are attached: an ethnic identity like any other. The big question of our time is less 'What does it mean to be American' than 'What does it mean to be white American' in an age of ethnic change. The progressive storyline for white majorities is a morality tale celebrating their demise, and, as I hope to show, much of today's populist reaction stems directly or indirectly from this trope.
