I certainly agree. Another of Wolfe's early books is good too. Forget the title. My observation is that where old leftists moved to the right around issues of the USSR, the new leftists who do so do it because, in some way or other, they deplore the decline of the father-dominated family, and the sexual values that go with it. This leads to various accommodations with anti-feminism and homophobia. Christopher
