The City and Man

Leo Strauss
T. GreerT. Greer

Leo Strauss hints at the problem in his introduction to the City and Man... but just hints. But doesn't the existence of these vast and hidden powers have deep relevance to the question of man and his polis? To our conceptions of justice and the common good? Very underexplored

Book Cover for: Unforgiving Years, Victor Serge

Unforgiving Years

Victor Serge
T. GreerT. Greer

I read his novel Unforgiving Years a few years back and was very struck by it—especially the section that follows a Comintern agent in France around who is starting to doubt the faith but is still undercover. The Berlin ‘45 scene with the American journalist also sticks with me https://t.co/3XO6UqLalo

@AaronMHarrison AE Housman — small book “Shopshire Lad.” You’ll read it fast, and be edified. The Brownings. Get the Vendler book on Dickinson, which alternates Dickinson poems with small exegesis Robert Frost Paradise Lost! Little read but good: William Meredith

I will always have a soft spot then for this little essay, and gratitude to City Journal for publishing it. It is the reason I met the love of my life. I am very glad that in this one case I did not “stay in my lane.” So is she!

Leap of Faith: Hubris, Negligence, and America's Greatest Foreign Policy Tragedy

Michael J. Mazarr
T. GreerT. Greer

@lionel_trolling You would find Michael Mazarr’s LEAP OF FAITH book on the lead up to the war useful, valuable, and worth a substance essay on. I would be especially interested in your take on his concluding chapter on moral culpability .
