Fantastic. JL was classically trained (1st from University of Queensland) and deeply learned as well as politically engaged. I hope the book delivers. He wrote a lot—over 160 books. This was one of his more popular ones, I think.

Always a pleasure to see Jack’s work getting about. I haven’t worked on this book, but my impression is that Lindsay had bigger things on his mind (i.e. revolutionary struggle and moments of social transformation). But he was no prude and would have enjoyed the link :)

Striving to make bad Latin poetry interesting to ever fewer readers. All views an awkward assimilation of that LRB article. Vulgar marxist. Mullet on horizon.
