“SURFESSOR OF EGOISM” [sic] is a delightful and informative and previously uncollected work about (and possibly by) Malfew Seklew.

At the start of this War to End All Wars, the Women’s Political Suffrage Union had stopped publishing their newspaper […]
What follows is a dialogue between readers of an English journal titled T.P.’s Weekly. Those readers just happen to include some of the earliest translators of Nietzsche into the English language, and making sure John Basil Barnhill (who may or may not have been ill, I’ve yet to substantiate that) got credit for his publishing Thomas […]
