Here is an interview in LARB with author Sue Prideaux about her new book on Nietzsche titled, I Am Dynamite. Here are two quotes by Nietzsche that she mentions,
“convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies” and “there are no truths, only perspectives” Prideaux near the end of the piece mentions JP and how some of what he says she agrees with but how his idea of 12 steps for male improvement would contradict Nietzche’s philosophy. Ana Kaspavian’s take on JP is more comprehensive and she makes some good points in her attempt to give a fair and balanced critique.
Best interview in a while, gotta say. Just one of a number of gems:
My dad collects all this Soviet art—I’m named after Mikhail Gorbachev—and he has Native masks everywhere, and there’s like 32 different paint colours in the house. But I didn’t find that strange until I went to university and came back and was like, “Oh, maybe dad is a little eccentric.” But it wasn’t a house of horror.
32 colours?
Yup, I’d be an autoimmune case too.
Is it me, or is shit getting wackier all the time?

“What fun is life without a little death?”
is a quote from one of the young killers at Columbine, Dylan Klebold.
JP uses that to tie into the 12 instructions from his book.

I prefer Gus Van Sants take on the incident in his film,
Elephant, 2003. Good vs. Evil makes for a comforting moral
analysis but does not account for more challenging complexity
with its contradictions and the element of the unknown.
