Introduction

Lomez. The name alone sends shivers of fear up the spines of our enemies. A leader of the culture wars, he founded of Passage Publishing, a top publisher in the dissident sphere and facilitator of the Passage Prize, our version of the Pulitzer.

Where most culture warriors have mastered the art of complaining, Lomez stands as an exception. He’s growing an a new and desperately needed high art regime from acorn seed.

This is not to say he’s not a fantastic writer in his own right—his recent Longhouse piece in First Things blew the doors off the internet and will serve as a memetic fixture for decades to come.
