![]() ![]() ![]() His first book True Norwegian Black Metal (Vice Books) was a portrayal of the extreme end of the genre and the stunning photos contained within translated far beyond the niche fans of the music, selling tens of thousands of copies. Photographer Peter Beste has been documenting subcultures for over 20 years. Defenders of the Faith documents the timeless and universal concept of fandom through the elevation of the battle vests, revering them beyond the sweaty bodies they adorn and the pits they live in, to the status of religious artifact. Often referred to as the Kutten (German for monk's robe), the battle vest serves a multitude of purposes: as a musical CV, a badge of authenticity, a creative practice of identity, and a fashion statement. The display of this fervor has been channeled and distilled throughout time into one sacred object: the battle vest. The religious ferocity of Heavy Metal fandom is one of the most fervent in the history of subculture. ![]()

I wondered what it would be like to follow the route taken by the most famous lemon-sucker ever to be a general. His was a masterful, bloody blitz of such cunning that it has been studied ever since by tacticians, among them Rommel and Patton. Forget Antietam, Gettysburg and the siege of Richmond: For physical beauty and sheer audacity in battle, nothing equals the Shenandoah Valley campaign of Stonewall Jackson, the "pious blue-eyed killer" who pushed his men so hard in the spring of 1862 that their shoes fell apart. Washington is a mere hundred miles from the most spectacular Civil War terrain. ![]() Caribbean by DK Eyewitness Travel5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() We've also worked hard to make sure our information is as up-to-date as possible following the COVID-19 outbreak. ![]() The ideal travel companion, full of insider advice on what to see and do.

She asked what it must be like for this king who had this very specific duty and had never done it. ![]() This was an official duty of his job, and he possessed weapons designed specifically for monster-killing. Kelly was also excited to learn that there was a king named Shulgi whose job was killing monsters. Kings, priests, and priestesses kept a handle on how much grain was grown and distributed. One of the things she learned there was that in 2000 BCE, Mesopotamia had a complex, centrally planned economy. She explained that she and Alyx Dellamonica had just moved to Toronto when there was an exhibit about Mesopotamia at the Royal Ontario Museum, and they went to it four or five times. ![]() I asked Kelly about where she found the entry point for this story. In this story, the historical portion is set in Mesopotamia! She's passionate about economics! (And so she should be worldbuilding without economics is flimsy.) She calls it "the physics of worldbuilding." She told us that when she was first writing historical fiction, she began with medieval settings because it seemed more straightforward to manage, but that since then, she's branched out into greater challenges. Kelly started out by telling us about how critical economics was to this story. ![]() This hangout looks twice as exciting now that Kelly has gone on to win a Nebula in the meantime (for her novellette, A Human Stain)! It was a pleasure to have her on the show to talk about her recent novella, Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach. ![]() The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It actually felt a bit like a book written by an outsider trying to describe what America’s like – probably not fair, because although Carroll moved to Austria before ever writing this, he is actually a born and bred New Yorker. The Land of Laughs captures that same King-esque feeling of the homely nostalgic creepiness of early 1980s down-to-earth Americana – when the 1950s were closer to them than the the 1980s are to us, as strange as that sounds. “I can’t remember when I’ve last been so blown away by a fantasy novel,” says the Stephen King blurb on the front cover – which I didn’t actually notice until I’d nearly finished the book, and which is ironic, given I spent most of this book thinking it felt like an early 1980s King novel if King had only had quarter of the talent. The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll (1980) 241 p. ![]() Angry god goodreads5/22/2023 ![]() Spiritualism, she contends, was the religious articulation of the American Renaissance, and the ramifications of looking backward for advice about the present were far-reaching. Although this epithet usually signifies the sudden blossoming of American letters, Gutierrez points to its original a cultural imagination enraptured with the past and the classics in particular, accompanied by a cultural efflorescence. Cathy Gutierrez places Spiritualism in the context of the 19th-century American Renaissance. In its day, however, its leaders were household names and politicians worried about capturing the Spiritualist vote. Its tricks have been exposed, its charlatans unmasked, and its heroes' names lost to posterity. It has alternately been ridiculed as the apogee of fatuous credulity and hailed as a feminist movement. ![]() ![]() ![]() In its day, spiritualism brought hundreds of thousands of Americans to séance tables and trance lectures. ![]() Aristotle metaphysics best translation5/22/2023 ![]() (So, too, for entelecheia, which Sachs translates as an unwieldy, but clearer “being-at-work-staying-itself.”) My only quibble, and it’s Sachs’ own quibble, is his translation of ousia, as “thinghood.” For Sachs, ugly as he admits this is, it is the best translation he can think of. So, for energeia, translated traditionally into English via Latin as “actuality,” or “activity,” Sachs translates as “being-at-work.” This is a cumbersome rendering, to be sure, but it more carefully articulates Aristotle’s actual meaning. g., substance, actuality, virtue, etc.), and get back to the sort of common everyday words that Aristotle himself used. ![]() Sachs’ own genius is his ability to bypass the accumulated Aristotelian technical vocabulary which we in the West have inherited through Latin (e. ![]() All the texts strive for understandability while also being faithful to the linguistics of the original. I want here to recommend five texts translated by Joe Sachs of St. Thankfully, we are seeing today another surge in excellent translations of Plato and Aristotle by various translators. One of the important considerations in doing ancient philosophy, especially if one is not proficient in ancient Greek, is the selection of trustworthy and accurate translations of the texts one will encounter. ![]() Jabba the puppett5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() With this latest episode in the explosively popular Origami Yoda series, Tom Angleberger proves once again that he has his finger puppet squarely on the erratic pulse of middle-school life" ( Washington Post).
