Noisy Requiem

Anaïs Nin, from Henry & June: From the unexpurgated diary of Anaïs Nin (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1986)

Sigh...here goes nothing. I have been reluctant to announce my new book project because every time I do, setbacks happen. Considering that I’m wrapping up the last chapter and that everything left is minor and the basic minutiae like footnotes and whatnot, I figured it’s a good time to announce my upcoming book. The few privileged people that have read snippets have said that it is a cut above my previous two books. The scholarship is better, the writing is better, and the book itself is unique.

Books similar to mine are “The End of Christianity” and “The Christian Delusion,” but both books are a compilation of essays written by different people. My book is written by just one person and rather than eviscerating Christianity and giving Christians no alternative, I end the book with a solid defense of humanism. There is also material not found on my blogs or in any books similar to mine. The anthropology chapter will make that very clear. 

Like I promised, this book is the curtain call for this blog, so it catalogs my entire journey and experience over the last decade or so. What’s left is an actualized atheism and a transcendent humanism that calls on readers to organize and start helping others. I expect to be fully wrapped up by February, if not sooner.
