Buckley and Pinochet
Yesterday, William F. Buckley, Jr., author of God and Man at Yale, turned 80.
Here is an entry from yesterday, postponed until today so it would not intervene between yesterday’s related entries “Crossroads” and “For Constantine’s Angel.”
for William F. Buckley, Jr.
- Joyce and Aquinas (Yale Studies in English)
- God and Man in Twentieth-Century Fiction
- Modern Literature and the Sense of Time

Thought to accompany the above reading list:
“And now I was beginning to surmise:
Here was the library of Paradise.”
— Hermann Hesse, Magister Ludi
Before he attains to Paradise, Buckley’s reading list in Purgatory might include the complete weblog of Andrew Cusack, a young Christian Fascist at the University of St. Andrews.

According to “Today in History,” by the Associated Press, for Nov. 25, 2005,
If, in fact, Hell also has a library, let us pray that it contains, for Pinochet’s future edification, the collected works of Pablo Neruda.
