THE RISE OF BRONZE AGE PERVERT.

Features In 2014, the actor B. J. Novak, best known as Ryan, the weaselly temp from The Office, went on the Late Show With David Letterman and confessed to a small role he'd played 17 years earlier in the history of the American far right. IN MICHIGAN, when Bryan Garsten made his comment about the seductions of illiberalism, BAP was like the ghost at the banquet, cackling from the rafters at his professor's consternation. Costin Alamariu is in his mid-40s, and he has never publicly admitted that he is BAP. One of his supporters wrote to me that BAP's character was layered with irony, and that the ability to see the truth in BAP, and separate it from the hilarious megalomania, is a kind of Straussian test, to determine who can read and think, and who is so offended by the racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism that he is incapacitated and unable to focus on anything else, even to criticize it.
