DESCRIPTION:
O'Meara is my favorite critic of literature ninthavatar James J. O'Meara is my favorite critic of literature, film, and culture in general.

O'Meara uses the Traditionalism of Julius Evola and René Guénon to bring to light the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of the fiction of H. Even the Episcopal architecture of Ralph Adams Cram barely conceals the hideouts of the Wild Boys, the primal male hordes of culture creators feared by conservative and liberal alike. The Eldritch Evola & Others firmly establishes James J. O'Meara is the Camille Paglia of the Alternative Right." - Andy Nowicki, author of Lost Violent Souls. P. "James J. O'Meara as one of the most original voices of the North American New Right. In O'Meara's lens, the doomed WASP gentry in the weird tales of H. Hobo and microtonal composer Harry Partch is a Dionysian shaman for mid-century America, while the transatlantic Scott Walker enacts Aryan musical archetypes in the 30th century.
