Island of the Day Before
by
Umberto Eco
Michael Wonio
, January 19, 2012
While Eco, as usual, is over-the-top imaginative, be assured that all the period science is quite historical. All the philosophies, theories, even the experiments, have their referents in historical reality. With those ingredients he has created an imaginative tour de force greater than the sum of its historical elements.

Pirate Utopias Moorish Corsairs & Euro
by
Peter L Wilson
Michael Wonio
, September 01, 2011
Not your kids' hollywoodized Caribbean pirates! Moorish, and renegade European, corsairs haunted the Mediterranean from the 16th to 19th century, taking prisoners for slaves and for ransoms. After the battle of Lepanto, Cervantes himself was captured and enslaved until ransomed years later. Wilson uses this epoch to develop a thesis concerning "insurrectionary communities".
