"he always pledged fealty to old bourgeois cultural values. He loved pre-big band New Orleans jazz and old -fashioned narrative movies with heroes or broad comedies." @brianmdoherty on Rothbard's cultural tastes.
I feel like Stilman is comparable to Waugh or Anthony Powell in that some of his audience loves what they see as his celebration of the upper-class & others love what they see as his satire of the same group.
yeah or pg wodehouse, the fact is it's both
Stilman's roots in the American right are worthy of a separate essay on its own. He used to write for The American Spectator, put some of the 1980s right in Metropolitan & has always had conservative fan base.
I think Love and Friendship was named after the Allan Bloom book, great book actually
You should definitely write the essay I'm thinking of, no one better for the task: Walt Stilman is the only good thing the American right has given us.
