Responses

  1. This list is incredible… and intimidating :)

  2. Now, I’m not claiming I’ve read more; shit, I can’t even read all the way through your list! But, no Girard or Chesterton–two authors that have made a big dent in me. Any play with these guys? I’d especially like to hear some intelligent commentary on Girard’s anthropology, given your voluminous scholarship.

    Keep up the work–in the mind and the street. Peace, Chris Haw from Camden, NJ

  3. Would love to hear your thoughts on Tim Keller.

  4. Dan, I just finished Naomi Klein’s latest book, This Changes Everythng: Capitalism vs The Climate. It was you who turned me on to The Shock Doctrine 7 years ago, and I thought of you as I finished this latest one, and I put it in a special place alongside The Shock Doctrine as a truly eyeopening, tremendously well researched, amazingly well-written book. I remember you describing The Shock Doctrine as the most important non-theological book you had read that year. I felt that way too after I read it back then, and I feel that way again about This Changes Everything. I hope you get a chance to read it. It’s been a while since I have read here. I’m gonna have to pipe your RSS into my Twitter account that I use to keep me up to date on non-Tweeter folks. Feel like I’ve been missing out.

    • Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I’m reading that book by Klein right now actually. Really nice to see you popping up around here again.

  5. I notice that among books you have read you have listed under “British and rest of UK” the works of Beckett, Joyce, Oliver Goldsmith, Bram Stoker and Jonathan Swift. Beckett, Joyce, Stoker and Swift were all from Dublin, and were Irish. Dublin is not in the UK. Goldsmith was from the Longford – Roscommon area and studied at Trinity College Dublin. Stoker was born 200 metres from where I Iive.

    Beckett and Joyce lived post Ireland gaining independence from the UK.Goldsmith on the other hand lived before the creation of the UK (i.e. the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) in 1801 – prior to that there was only the Kingdom of Great Britain with a subject parliament sitting in Dublin. The current Union Flag of the UK dates from 1801.

    Beckett, Joyce, Goldsmith and Swift, as well as being international, are embedded in the Irish culture of their times.

    We get used to the Brits appropriating our artists (and even athletes at times). We live 50 years from “no blacks, no dogs, no Irish” signs on pubs, lodging houses etc in the UK.

    The only culture we are allowed is some sort development of an American “Paddywhackery” of leprechauns, Guinness Stout (which is a second rate stout) and Hollywood spawned Irish accents “top of the morning to you, begorragh and begob” which I am sorry to say we internalise perhaps more than we realise and sometimes consciously play to make ourselves likeable to Americans and others. Even Hallowe’en (which primarily originates in its forms of ‘trick or treating’, ghosts etc from the Gaelic culture of Ireland, and was thoroughly Irish in its many food and other rituals) has, in Ireland, been transformed into an American style celebration over the past 10 – 15 years.

    C.S. Lewis was also from Ireland, but he came from Belfast and I am sure would have identified himself as British.

    • You’re right, Spody. I will fix this.

  6. Oh! I just noticed that I missed Oscar Wilde too … maybe there are others as well.

    • I’ve actually been meaning to separate the Irish, Scottish, Welsh and British but I was being lazy. This is good incentive.

      • Lesson in Geography: There are two islands – Ireland and Britain. The people who come from Ireland are Irish and the people who come from Britain are British.

        Scotland and Wales are part of the island of Britain – they are British, they cannot leave Britain unless someone makes some very wide canals. The English are also British. Some English, Welsh, Scottish will identify their primary ethnicity as British – something that holds them all together. Others will identify with being English or Welsh or Scottish.

        As the wind is currently blowing (with the Scottish Nationalist Party consistently heading the opinion polls and with approximately 55% now consistently indicating that they want an independent Scotland) Scotland appears to be drifting towards independence – independence from the United Kingdom that is. Not independence from Britain unless they plan on digging some very wide and deep ditches.

        Northern Ireland is part of the island of Ireland and contains about 1/4 of the population of the island. It is part of the UK. The people living there principally identify their primary ethnicity as British, Northern Irish and Irish. Some may say they are Ulster – Scots. All of these are politically laden terms in the context of Northern Ireland and more broadly in the context of both Ireland and the UK as a whole.

        So C.S. Lewis, from what is Northern Ireland, would probably have identified himself as British or perhaps Northern Irish but not as Irish. Seamus Heaney who also came from Northern Ireland always identified himself as Irish.

        So you cannot separate your authors into Irish, Scottish, Welsh and British since the Scots and Welsh are British – best to do Scots, Welsh and English. You are safe enough dealing with the state (as opposed to the island) of Ireland but you wander into Northern Ireland at your own peril!

        Finally I liked your piece on Belle de Jour and the 50 Shades of Grey.

      • Happy to hear more of your thoughts on the BDJ and 50 essay, if you want to comment over on it.
