Reader Appreciation Series: Evelina Anville

Whenever I see that I have a new comment from Evelina Anville, I feel happy anticipation. Evelina always has something new and interesting to contribute. She never links to any blog of her own and doesn’t share many details about herself but I have a strong suspicion that Evelina is a writer. Every comment by her is like a little work of art: aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating.

I don’t think I have a single reader who always agrees with me on everything. I would consider myself a failure as a blogger if all I managed to do was bring together a bunch of indifferent sycophants who would dismiss me by agreeing with every word I write. Evelina stands probably the closest to my convictions and beliefs among all my readers, yet there are still quite a few areas where we disagree. Unlike me, however, Evelina knows how to express her disagreement gracefully and elegantly and this is a skill that I would love to master.

Evelina Anville is a feminist and an intellectual who has strong political beliefs and who defends them passionately and vigorously. I never met her in person but I have no doubt that she is a wonderful human being who is worthy of every admiration.
