I’m interested in a multitude of things, including social justice, socialism, history, poetry, magical realism (fiction), capitalism, race, class struggle, wine, baseball, music…

So mostly non-fiction, though I read maybe two novels per year.

Colin Wilson: The Outsider (Paperback, 1987, Tarcher) 4 stars

The Outsider is the seminal work on alienation, creativity and the modern mind-set. First published …

Quite the study of the psyche of the Outsider in our society. The author delves into some of the major characters of modern literature, as well as the temperaments of various artists. I confess that I didn't always grasp what he was trying to communicate (and I hadn't read all of the works he referenced), but I learned a lot nonetheless.
