This is a story about the creation and evolution of love and of family, as much as a story about her faith. One thing that stood out in The Butterfly Mosque was Wilson’s warmth to her world and the people around her. ![]() And Wilson certainly does not take the easy path. I highly relate to taking the path that works best for oneself instead of the easy road. While Wilson and I live very different lives, I was drawn in by both the beauty and truth in The Butterfly Mosque and the telling of a story about building an identity that is different from the various ones prescribed by society - whether American, Muslim, or Egyptian, in this case - and standing up for what works for her. ![]() (Also we live in the same awesome city of Seattle.) Wilson’s memoir is about her conversion to Islam, about her marriage to an Egyptian man, and about forging her own identity as an American Muslim learning to live in Egypt and the Middle East in a post-9/11 world. ![]() Which seems like an odd thing to say about a memior, particularly one by someone still alive and who’s only a year older than myself.

The source, or origin, of beauty doesn’t matter. In Baudelaire, beauty is horror, and horror, beauty. Who cares? A dreadful, huge, ingenuous monster, you!” “Are you from heaven or hell, Beauty that we adore? The dark power of Baudelaire’s poetry in Les Fleur Du Mal/ The Flowers of Evil (originally published in 1857) is best experienced when it disturbs and is difficult to access, rather than when it is made more palatable through aesthetic appreciation and valorisation. A statement of horror is better understood by those who feel the horror in their bones, even if they react against it, than by those who express nothing but their rapture over the artistic achievement.” Not all of them, but a few, had a better understanding of it than many contemporary and subsequent admirers. Auerbach had “a word… in defense of certain critics who have resolutely rejected the book. In his celebrated essay on Charles Baudelaire, The Aesthetic Dignity of the ‘Fleurs du Mal’, the philologist, Erich Auerbach ended with a brilliant observation while addressing “the horror of Les Fleur Du Mal”. ![]() Today, April 9, marks the bicentenary of Charles Baudelaire’s birth anniversary. ![]() ![]() Tomversation is protected under the section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, this protects us from what others say in the comments section and it also gives us legal reason to sue those who cyber stalk and harass us on a continual basis.
