    Remembering Flannery O’Connor
    (March 25, 1925–August 4, 1964)

    Phil Eiger Newmann, Flannery O’Connor, 2021.

    1,842 words

    Like her near-contemporary Gore Vidal (both were born in 1925), the fiction writer Mary Flannery O’Connor had her first brush with fame via a Pathé movie newsreel. She had a pet chicken whom she’d taught to walk backward. Gore’s fame came a few years later when he piloted an airplane, age ten. (more…)

    “He Doesn’t Worry Too Much If Mediocre People Get Killed in Wars and Such”
    Tito Perdue’s The Smut Book & Cynosura

    Edmund Dulac, “The Buried Moon” from The Red Cross Fairy Book, 1916.

    4,430 words

    He had me at: “It was still the South, he knew it for a certainty when they passed an aged negro in overalls hobbling down along the highway toward no conceivable destination. The land was cursed. God, he loved it.” [1] Tito Perdue, author of the two novels here reviewed, The Smut Book and Cynosura, is a proud Southerner who has enjoyed skewering the sacred cows of these, our cursed times since he became a writer in the early 1980s.

    Tito Perdue’s The Node

    Perdue-Tito-The-Node-small2,058 words

    Tito Perdue
    The Node
    Charleston, W.V.: Nine-Banded Books, 2011

    The Node is Tito Perdue’s debut in speculative science fiction. It is a tour de force of postmodern storytelling, examining the extremes of white fragility and resilience, apathy and defiance through the travels of an unnamed narrator: “Our boy.” (more…)

    Go Down, William Faulkner

    William Faulkner

    4,880 words

    A novelist can have tremendous influence beyond his own time if he depicts major historical trends and invents characters that react in conflicting ways to these trends. If a story is vivid enough, readers might come to identify with or even emulate such characters, since the historical pressures bearing down on them bear down on the readers as well. William Faulkner accomplishes such a feat in his 1942 novel of interrelated short stories, Go Down, Moses.

    Remember Thomas Nelson Page

    4,734 words

    Shortly after the Civil War, the American South found itself in ruins. Much has been written about the devastation of the war and the indignities and strife which followed during Reconstruction. Beyond the poverty and oppression and the rapid demise of the old regime with its “outdated” culture of honor, loyalty, and heroism, the inheritors of the former Confederacy found themselves without defense in the national and international courts of moral opinion.

    Atticus in Bizarro World:
    Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman

    GoSetaWatchman1,996 words

    Harper Lee
    Go Set a Watchman: A Novel
    Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2015

    As nearly everyone knows by now, Atticus Finch, that steadfast attorney from Maycomb, Alabama, led the local Citizens’ Council in the 1950s. When agitators from the NAACP and Communist Party came south to stir up trouble after the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown decision, he fought the good fight for segregation. (more…)

    Y’all Can Kill That Mockingbird Now

    To_Kill_a_Mockingbird2,446 words

    One of these days Harper Lee is going to kick off and have great big posthumous laugh at our expense. Bwah-hah-hah! Because right there in her Last Notes and Testament, we will find an answer to that puzzlement that has troubled the publishing biz for a half-century or more.

    Namely, why didn’t Harper Lee write any more novels after To Kill a Mockingbird?

    Turning the World Around:
    Tito Perdue’s The Node

    Perdue-Tito-The-Node-small1,336 words

    Tito Perdue
    The Node
    Charleston, W.V.: Nine-Banded Books, 2011

    Tito Perdue’s The Node is a futuristic, dystopian satire on our anti-white system with an explicitly White Nationalist and New Rightist message.

    Satire is easy – just pick a few trends and extrapolate to absurdity. Any idiot can do that, and quite a few have. Which, of course, means that good satire is very hard to do and hard to find. The Node, however, is satire of the highest order: (more…)

    Tito Perdue’s Morning Crafts

    perdue-morningcrafts1,943 words

    Tito Perdue
    Morning Crafts
    London: Arktos, 2012

    At the end of After Virtue, Alasdair MacIntyre concludes that modern civilization is bankrupt, and modern intellectual and political traditions are incapable of understanding and rectifying this decadence. He does not, however, counsel generalized pessismism, for once modernity expires of its own corruptions a new age will begin. (more…)

    A Posthumous Revenge

    The death mask of Robert E. Lee

    467 words

    Translator’s Note:

    The following excerpt is taken from the concluding chapter of Venner’s Gettysburg, one of two books he’s written on the War of Southern Secession. Like Maurice Bardèche’s Sparte et les sudistes [Sparta and the Confederates], it reflects the other side of that European anti-liberalism which crusades against everything contemporary America has come to represent.
