The first annual Jonathan Bowden Dinner will be held in London on Friday, May 26th. There will be four speakers: Bowden biographer Alex Kurtagic, blogger and YouTuber Adam Wallace, Chairman of the Jonathan Bowden Society Michael Woodbridge, and a surprise speaker from abroad described only as “a man of egregious erudition and eloquence.”
This is a private, invitation-only event, open only to movement people in good standing and newcomers who are willing to undergo “extreme vetting.” If you would like an invitation, please contact the organizer, Stead Steadman, at [email protected] Or, if you are someone I can refer, feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Copies of Counter-Currents books will be available, including Jonathan Bowden’s Pulp Fascism, Western Civilization Bites Back, and a new collection entitled Extremists: Studies in Metapolitics.
Jonathan died five years ago, but his audience and influence are larger than ever, thanks to platforms like YouTube and the ongoing transcription and publication of his works. The purpose of instituting these annual dinners is to make sure that he is never forgotten. May this venture be crowned with Glory!

My homage to the great Jonathan Bowden in the form of a meme:

He will not be forgotten.
Wish I could make it to London…
I remember Kurtagic telling me he was thinking about or working on a big biography of Bowden. I wonder how far along he’s gotten.
We lost a great orator in Bowden.
Will the speeches at the dinner be recorded and made available at some point? I really hope so. If I lived in that part of the world I would seek invitation in a heartbeat!
Bowden was the greatest orator of our times. We should all be keeping his flame burning by disseminating his speeches online as much as possible. I myself would love to be able to one day hear several of them (such as the Yukio Mishima one) which haven’t surfaced on youtube yet…
I wonder how Kurtagic is going with that biography? Does anyone have any updates about that?
The 5th anniversary of his passing was just a week ago, and I was thinking about what he would have thought of the burgeoning of the alt-right. I only discovered him after he had passed away, but coming across those speeches of his on youtube was for me a big turning point in my thinking. I think he was a rare individual with the intellectual panache necessary to stimulate the soul – or in Kurtagic’s terms, a masterful operator on the infra-rational level.
Honoring the late, great, Jonathan Bowden. There will never be a speaker like him again.
