Why Partisan Review?

In the years between 1936 and 1942 the American journal Partisan Review brought together two kinds of radical sensibility, one in the arts the other in politics. This blog will attempt in a small way to do a little of the same. Its politics like Partisan Review in its finest period will be those of the "Socialist Third Camp". Its arts reviews will reflect my interests, in the cinema, architecture, and the wider arts. Unlike its illustrious forbearer my blog will include reviews and comments on technology.

And yes and I know I'm no Dwight Macdonald or George Orwell!
