My latest interview is with the intellectual historian Michael Behrent and concerns the centenary of Foucault’s birth which is today. We discuss Foucault’s Catholic upbringing, what distinguishes his thought, and what remains relevant today: https://t.co/NcbgHo7BVj

Twice in the last five years, the Swedish Academy has awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature to a woman who takes eros seriously: Annie Ernaux, in 2022, and, now, Anne Carson. Carson, whose œuvre traverses many finely wrought forms—poems, plays, essays, translations of ancient Greek tragedies and lyrics, an opera, a comic book, a book-in-a-box—has pursued forms of writing that constrain a terrible excess of feeling, and give shape and weight to the maelstrom of passion. “Carson admires the absolute spiritual daring it takes to submit to one’s awful longings,” the critic Merve Emre writes.

May Gerald Murnane, a great local Australian writer, could win 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature.
God bless our Plains, Inland and Border Districts.
