How 'The Camp of the Saints' became the far right's cult novel, from the Le Pens to MAGA

Since its publication in 1973, Jean Raspail's novel has shaped the imagination of ideologues who oppose immigration. The openly racist story, which envisions a million Indians descending on the French coast, was recently republished across the Atlantic.

I hired a #sensitivityreader / #betareader on Fiverr for a final run through of my manuscript. This was a second SR, as one of my characters is female/BIPOC and I ain't, so I'm concerned to not screw up, fall into #whitegaze errors.
It wasn't expensive and I didn't know what to expect, but the results exceeded anything I could of hoped for. A really insightful 100 page report--and clearly not AI generated.

The title of this one is no joke by the way.

It's a dark and bleak-toned book.

But it's terrific.

Moe, the cobbler rob(ot) turned green-bottle jelly wrangling farmhand, is without a doubt one of my favorite characters.
He's suffered to get where he is, and he's not about to give it up without a fight.

We don’t like to think about death, but the way we die says a lot about how we live.

My latest review explores No Ordinary Deaths: A People's History of Mortality by Molly Conisbee, a book about how even the most ordinary deaths are shaped by culture, community, and time.

No Ordinary Deaths – A People’s History of Mortality by Molly Conisbee
