Bluffworld

‘Zum Bullshitter geht der Preis' – so said the great German author-philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (1774). Or did he? Can we trust what we never quite knew about because we never quite got around to reading it in the first place?

But in 1913 none of this mattered to Hudson Stuck, a fifty-year old Episcopal priest, Harry...
