episode 007 - Twilight of Idols cover

Description

Dive into the poignant and thought-provoking posthumous collection of essays by Randolph Bourne. Many of these essays were originally featured in the influential journal The Seven Arts, which met a controversial end. This collection also includes the unfinished manuscript of Bourne’s pivotal work, The State, which he was passionately crafting until his untimely death in December 1918, a victim of the Spanish flu pandemic. As editor James Oppenheim eloquently states, We have nothing else like this book in America. It is the only living record of the suppressed minority, and is, as so often the case, the prophecy of that minoritys final triumph. - Summary by Ben Adams
