    G.V. Loewen / G.VLoewen
    Cultural Criticism In the two dozen essays written over a nine-month span, from 2020 to 2021, G.V.

  • Blind Spots
    G.V. Loewen / G.VLoewen

It is at once the Nothing of the existentialists, but it is more than that. Since it seems all too easy to be more than nothing, we need to immediately note that a capital “N” in Nothing is quite something after all. It is the ...
