The Birth of Tragedy / The Case of Wagner

Kieran Darnell
Kieran Darnell is starting The Anti-Christ, Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, and Other Writings
Anti-Christ: hard to tell how earnest his rhetoric is, it seems to suffer slightly from modernist irony (despite railing against modern values). The whole anti Christian thing is a bit of a scape goat? For such ‘life-affirming’ proclamations/preaching it has a whole lot of hate… Clear inspiration from Greek philosophical tradition, especially Plato’s Kallipolis(?). Not bad, but not his strongest work imo

Kieran Darnell is on page 50 of 242 of The Bookseller
Liking the retrospective narration. Adds an unsettling tone to the perfectly wintry atmosphere
