I've been reading stuff by and about Gabriele D'Annunzio since I first checked out TAZ some years ago. I'm presently on a big D'Annunzio jag, since reading Mussolini's autobiography, and am going to be downloading it here, rather than to my dumb e-list. I'm particularly intrigued by Michael Ledeen's biography of him (which just arrived in the mail), since Ledeen is one of the architects of the neo-conservative movement.

I mostly formed this tribe because nobody else did, and I'd worry if someone else did that the person who did it might be of low character.

Some of you may have heard of him from Boyd Rice records. Some of you may be Italian history buffs. Some of you may be anarchists. Some of you may be fascists. Some of you may simply appreciate this embodiment of the Nietzschean superman from a time which seems long past. Feel free to chat up other controversial authors of that time as well; I've got a pile of Knut Hamsun books, I'm fond of Marinetti and the futurists, and Ernst Juenger is an old favorite as well. Julius Evola would also not be entirely off topic.
