Jonathan Pie: Back to the Studio

Jonathan Pie’s (Tom Walker) brutal and delicious scathing of regressives of all stripes but his full on excoriation (from around 36:30) is reserved for the regressive Left — check it out. (If this is blocked, it’s available here, at least for the time being).

The Governor General’s Literary Awards of Canada: A Bibliography

My chum and technical philosopher par excellence, Andrew Irvine, has just had this massive project come to fruition. What a generous and substantive act of community service for CanLit scholars that even the regressive whiners (you know, the “grievance studies” shit-puppets) will benefit from. Here is Andrew explaining the rationale behind the project.

Mishima’s The Frolic of the Beasts

Here is the very excellent Damian Flanagan’s report on Andrew Clare’s recently published (first) English translation of The Frolic of the Beasts. Today marks the death of Mishima. (For those who have yet to discover Mishima, beware! There is a lot of maleducated journalistic tripe out there).

For a high-profile author like Mishima, it’s surprising how many important novels still await English translation; “Sunken Waterfall,” “Kyoko’s House” and “Beautiful Star” are just three examples of fascinating major literary novels by Mishima that have yet to be published in English, not to mention his hugely popular “entertainment” novels such as “The Wavering Virtue.”
