Appleyard blogs

I discovered over the weekend that Bryan Appleyard has a blog.

He is a bit of an odd character, and can come across as fairly pompous, but his 1992 book "Understanding the Present" impressed me, even though it suffered by a sudden infusion of Wittgenstein at the end.

Anyway, his views seem never to be entirely predictable, which makes him an interesting read.

  1. Pompous! Moi? Odd? Of course.

  2. Thanks for visiting, BA..Made you look!

    Actually, I would like to ask you in detail about the Wittgenstein ending in UTP. Maybe will have to by email.
