I guess I missed the memo on adding a description for my specific post. Freddie posted a reaction to Paul Damrosch's book on The Epic of Gilgamesh around the same time I was also writing about its history. I thought readers here might enjoy a more in-depth look at the same material and, more importantly, a close analysis of Gilgamesh's nipples.
So far on this list I've read Karl Straub's piece on Joyce and loved it. I also subscribe to Andrew Rosa and edward rathke's substacks for their excellent literary-themed stuff. I'm sure there's more here I haven't gotten to yet!
I’ve already read three or four wonderful pieces I would never have found otherwise and am so looking forward to working through the rest of the list. So glad you’re doing this! (And thank you for considerately posting when I’m laid out with covid and can’t do anything except lay in bed and read.)
I loved your piece and I agree about queer literature, although I’d say it mainly applies to mainstream books. The ones that land in bookstores are often YA or they have a YA feel.
I definitely agree with this. Originally I had a caveat-footnote with a list of books that are not part of the trend, but I cut it. Maybe sometime I’ll do a post with book recommendations.
As a heterodox traditional populist, some people might put in somewhere vaguely on the right, but I have been kicked out of the right on multiple occasions since college.

In all cases where I had to make a judgement call, I did my best
Hey, no complaints here. Thanks for doing this!
I just don't see why you refuse to engage with Gilgamesh's nipples, Freddie. It's just a tweak. ; )
Oopsie my link is missing: https://erinetheridge.substack.com/p/when-you-are-the-person?s=w

Thanks, fella
All the writers are subscribers? Can't be many blogs with both Arnold Kling and George Scialabba as subscribers.

I absolutely love Sarah’s Weird E-Mails Substack. Everyone should check it out. I am really looking forward to going through the rest of these.
Thank you so much!!
I agree. The writing is so supple and light, but not the topics I hasten to add.
Thanks to all of those who shared literary-themed posts.

Hey Freddie-Tim Martin’s link is missing or at least it is for me. Thanks for doing this
fixed
Thanks for this, Freddie!

BTW you should get your Substack link to appear next to your name again. It deserves more readers
I wish I knew how! I’ve tried to figure it out and I can’t. I don’t know why it disappeared. Is it an app thing???
I don't know -- maybe try customer service? I think Substack is pretty responsive
Seems like quite a few of left = good and right = bad based on a quick scan of the descriptions. Not surprising for this blog but a bit disappointing.
Mine is politics free!
Mine is (mostly) politics free as well!
Thank you for pointing yours out Klaus. It's a nice change of pace.
Well, the right-leaning people should write more and then submit their pieces to balance things. =).
I've read most of the substacks of the obvious right-wing commentariat and they appear to be updated rather infrequently.
Also, I believe that KT plans to start a Stormfront-influenced Flower Arranging substack, so we have that to look forward to.

This is really cool. Looks like a lot of work for Mr. de Boer. Thank you.

I like reading stories about cats! My favorite subject.....
Thanks for the work & time spent on this, Freddie!
Thanks Freddie
Geez, that's a lot!
I think I'd better go cross off "start my own substack" from my to-do list ...
It delighted me to be pointed at Ben Henley's piece on Stewart Lee's pedal bin list here.
I don't care what you say, I like the internet.
Thanks Freddie!
Great stuff in here.
