Nunez's 2020 novel What Are You Going Through, begins with a quote from Simone Weil. That same year Tara Menon published an article on Nunez that includes considerable discussion of Weil's influence on Nunez's writings.

Over the years I am been amazed at the number of works that are focussed on Weil, but a first glance at the title does not reveal the rich content. Just added such an example to the Simone Weil Bibliography. The work below by Boulting is focussed on Weil's philosophy, epistemology and ontology.

After a rather lengthy hiatus, I am back to updating the Simone Weil Bibliography. Over 50 new records should be uploaded to the Simone Weil Bibliography by the end of January.
Please note that the Bibliography is also available via Zotero . The Zotero version allows you to select records for printing or exporting.
I have recently connected with Ron Collins the creator of the new e-journal ATTENTION which launched last May. This is a great resource for finding information on Weil. It has been wonderful meeting Ron and I look forward to our future collaborations.
Today while searching for something else, I stumbled across an Italian thesis by Giulia Felici that includes extensive discussion of Weil (a search for Weil retrieves 238 hits) and includes significant content comparing Weil and Gentile.
Felici, Giulia. 2018/2019. "Fare dell'esistenza un'offerta : L'eternità tra autoctisi e decreazione." MA Thesis, Philosophy, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia. http://dspace.unive.it/bitstream/handle/10579/15654/989204-1219837.pdf?sequence=2
Simone Weil Bibliography has now been updated with over 110 works for 2020. As a result of current restrictions on obtaining work through Interlibrary Loans due to COVID, I am now listing works in the bibliography that I have not physically examined. These are titles for which I can verify bibliographic information from authoritative sources. The entry for these works will include keywords if the bibliographic source notes keywords.
In the Fall of 2018, I presented a paper on Weil's enduring influence at the conference "Simone Weil, a Politics of the Good for our Age." In my presentation I noted the significant number of theses that discuss Weil's political philosophy. I just located Ida Guignatico's 2017 thesis "Oltre il realismo politico di Simone Weil" which also includes a section comparing Weil and Waltz (see section 4.4. "Simone Weil pioniera del realismo politico di Kenneth Waltz")
