The idea that these post-structuralists and postmodernists are heirs of the 1960s revolution is an absolute crock. [...] This was an elistist form from the start.

I'm an atheist, but I see the great world religions as enormous works of art. As the best way to understand the universe and man's place in it.

Authentic leftism is populist. It is based in working-class style, working-class language, working-class direct emotion, in an openness and brusqueness of speech.
