Ong's Thought," I highlight both his new 2022 book and his 2015 book Young Eliot: From St. Louis to "The Waste Land" -- both published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. In addition, I highlight certain aspects of the thought of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) that I relate to certain aspects of Eliot's thought. Because the American-born James Joyce specialist Eric McLuhan (1942-2018; Ph.D. in English, University of Dallas, 1982) considered Eliot's 1922 poem "The Waste Land" to be a Menippean satire, I also discuss Dr. McLuhan's two books on Menippean satire (1997, 2015) in connection with Eliot's 1922 poem.enT.
