Confessions of a Failed Egoist: and Other Essays

Explication, rumination and fulmination from Portland author Trevor Blake. Sixteen selections range from a critique of Objectivism to the career of filmmaker Nabil Shaban (focusing on The Skin Horse, a documentary on the sex lives of cripples). In addition there is a history and usage of Multiple Names (popular from obscure art movements like Neoism to common folk mythologies), a biographical sketch of Baltimore native and mutant tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE, among other topics. Putting the â‚¬Å“Iâ‚¬Â in â‚¬Å“historyâ‚¬Â, the author touches on a cultural history of Egoism, a personal â‚¬Å“trajectoryâ‚¬Â through Anarchism, and his personal shift on 9/11 are also detailed herein.

â‚¬Å“Confessions of a Failed EgoistÂ is somewhere at the crossroads between The Satanic BibleÂ andÂ Prometheus Rising. Everything you know is wrong, but donâ‚¬t worry: Itâ‚¬s just the punchline to the great epistemic joke. Blakeâ‚¬s book is a throwback to the days of H.L. Mencken mercilessly skewering sacred cows on the left and right, while firmly rooted in our present day victimology industry conundrums. Blakeâ‚¬s book provides inspiration for thought. Bring it up at your next boring work party and scare your colleagues.â‚¬Â -Nick Pell
