About Pulp Fascism: "Jonathan Bowden said that greatness lies in
the mind and in the fist. Nietzsche combined both forms in the
image of the warrior poet. For Bowden it was the image of the
cultured thug. I give you Jonathan Bowden: cultured thug." -Greg
Johnson, from the Foreword "Jonathan Bowden was uniquely gifted as
a cultural critic and revisionist, willing to explore the obscure
areas of high and low culture, and apply ideas from the former to
the analysis of the later, starting always from the supposition
that inequality is a moral good. Bowden's texts are dense and rich
with reference and insight, yet remain entertaining and replete
with humor." -Alex Kurtagi "Many men give speeches; Jonathan Bowden
gave orations. To experience one of Bowden's performances must have
been something like hearing Maria Callas in her prime or witnessing
one of Mussolini's call to arms from a Roman balcony. "As an
intellectual, Jonathan was a Renaissance man, or perhaps a bundle
of contradictions: his novels and paintings were of Joycean
complexity, and yet, in his orations and non-fiction writings, he
was able to cut to the essence of a philosophy or political
development in a way that was immediately understandable and,
indeed, useful for nationalists. "Pulp Fascism could be called
Bowden's 'unfinished symphony'- his attempt (not quite realized) to
reveal the radical, ambivalent, and, in some cases, shockingly
traditionalist undercurrents in pop culture. "That which envelops
our lives is taken for granted . . . and thus rarely properly
analyzed and understood. Bowden brings new life to those characters
and comic-book worlds we too often dismiss as child's play."

Party, the Bloomsbury Forum, the British National Party, and
