CD 52 - Christopher J. Scalia on 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love
Christopher J. Scalia is at the American Enterprise Institute. He and I have been Twitter mutuals for awhile, but I had the pleasure of meeting Chris in Grand Rapids at a Kirk-Scruton conference a couple of weeks ago. Chris is a literature guy, and the conservative movement needs that. To encourage us he has written a new book from Regnery, 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven’t Read).
