From The Literary Review, on a new book on Pascal ← stylistic quibbles aside, Pascal always has seemed eclipsed which is a shame as he prefigures so much of the counter-Enlightenment • Letters of concern ← pornography is but a cipher to our much deeper current predicament • Are Bricks Evil? Living in the Ruins of Horror ← if it were a sound, how would it echo?
