George Gilder, eloquent defender of the family,

JOSEPH SOBRAN

How embarrassing, after prostrating yourself before a man, to discover you’ve underestimated him. Seven years ago George Gilder wrote a warm, brilliant, offbeat celebration of family life called Sexual Suicide. I happened to read it in manuscript and was deeply impressed not only by the deep truths that it spoke but also that a man could have the sheer mind it took to make such an act of intellectual recovery during the fevers of the “Sixties” (1965-1975). That book was a contribution to justify a lifetime.
