    The Bayreuth of Hobo Pythagoreanism:
    The University of Washington’s Harry Partch Festival

    3,605 words

    The sounds are strange to the Western ear, but undeniably, humanly compelling — a fact borne out by the hundreds of people who flock to Seattle from far flung locales just to hear these instruments.[1] (more…)

    Two Orders, Same Man: Evola, Hesse, Part Two

    Hermann Hesse with Thomas Mann and Jakob Wassermann in the Swiss Alps, 1931.

    5,315 words

    Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

    Here is where Hesse meets up with Evola: the two post-First World War writers share a number of themes, though what Evola would have called their “personal equation” gave them decidedly different interpretations. Demian, for example, treats of initiation, paganism, esoteric knowledge, and construction of elites, in ways comparable to Evola’s personal investigations with the UR group;[1] but apart from Hesse’s overall Jungian lens, his war-derived pacifism would have disgusted Evola. And his Buddha “is certainly not the one depicted by Hermann Hesse in his novel [Siddhartha].” (more…)

    Two Orders, Same Man: Evola, Hesse, Part One

    Hermann Hesse with Miguel Serrano.

    4,862 words

    Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

    “It is fortunate you are not a historian,” Jacobus commented. “You tend to let your own imagination run away with you.”[1]

    “Unfortunately, the deep writer and poet Hermann Hesse was falsified and vulgarized by a world in decline. He needs to be re-read today by the same eyes that were once shaken by his mystery.”[2] (more…)

    According to Joseph Kingsbury-Smith, who covered the executions for the International News Service, Rosenberg was the only condemned man who, when asked at the gallows if he had any last statement to make, replied with only one word: “No.”

    If only he had kept his mouth shut in the first place! (more…)

    Well, I’m certainly glad that someone out there in alt-Right Land has heeded my call to cultivate what Henry James called “the dear, the blessed nouvelle” in preference to another 300-400 page block of text about how life sucks
