I've been a big fan since I first encountered his stuff in '99 in City_Journal.org.
Nevertheless, one of these days I'm simply going to HAVE to ask him if he took his pen name "Theodore Dalrymple" so as not to be confused with Anthony Daniels, the voice of C3PO in the "Star Wars" movies.
...in doing so, however, he invited confusion with the travel writer William Dalrymple, who on the whole is rather better known in the UK.
I've kinda wondered about that myself.
