Thirteen Windows into the Conservative Mind

Christopher Scalia’s 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven’t Read) is a book about books that also functions as an extended book list. It is a collection of essay-length chapters that discuss and recommend some of his favorite novels. And it is a reliable guide to younger readers, suspicious and wearied of politicized works of culture, exhorting them to reclaim their patrimony by making great literature central to their intellectual formation.
