But it's not the book I thought it was.

Hmm.

You know, when your publicist sent this to me, I thought, oh, phenomenal.

This is a book about Peter Brimlow and the racism castle in West Virginia.

I would love to read a book about Peter Brimlow and the racism castle.

And it's not really, is it?

Like the Brimlows are the strange people on the hill and they sort of stay on the hill, right?

I really didn't want to write a book that was about these villains that have been, you know, populating our culture for the last 10 plus years that just seem to get unlimited traction on social media.

There's nothing wrong with talking about them.

Yeah, I was just I was so startled by by what it wasn't and then so engrossed by what it was.

But just quickly for the listeners, tell us what the book is not about.

Tell us who Peter Brimlow is and V Dare and how they ended up with a castle.

And it became beloved by neo-Nazis, white nationalists, etc.

I think I think people like David Frum had been honest with themselves.

It was there all along.

It was not a subtle undercurrent.

I think what these people disagree most about is how loud you're supposed to say the quiet part.

Well, that's covered in the book.
