An author is typically an individual who has written a book. Nietzsche, on the other hand, was an individual who hurled thunderbolts into human consciousness.

*Disclaimer
I have taken the term "God's Unruly Friends" from the title of Ahmet T. Karamustafa's eponymous book (subtitled: Dervish Groups in the Islamic Middle Period 1200-1550), Oxford: Oneworld, 2006. Professor Karamustafa, a man of formidable scholarship and consummate taste, has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this blog. His book has a rather oblique and complicated relevance to my blog insofar as it has helped me to get in touch with my own inner Dervish--but that is neither the fault of the book nor its author.
