The New York Times did a lengthy piece about about The Reactionary Mind and the controversy it has aroused. Favorite line: “To Mr. Robin there is no actually existing Burkeanism anywhere.”
The book continues to be a subject of much discussion on the blogs: positive, negative, and much else. This is just a sampling of what’s been said about it: hates it; likes it; doesn’t like it but thinks about it; writes about it a lot (as in five times a lot, but with a lot of interesting historical counterpoint and information); uses it for contemporary analysis; and situates it within the contemporary literature of the left.
I’ve also done a few more interviews that you might want to check out.
I did an Occupied Media interview via Skype with Taryn Hart. That was a first for me. The Skype part, I mean.
I also had a conversation with Sam Seder over at his Majority Report.
Last, there was this interview with Global Dispatches, in which we talked more than I usually do about the contemporary politics of the GOP.
And tomorrow (Sunday, January 22) night at 8 pm, I’ll be dropping by for a second time at Balloon Juice, where they’ll be continuing their book club discussion of The Reactionary Mind.
