A few fantastic options:
Books I must absolutely order from @7StoriesPress in addition to @_ryanruby_'s CONTEXT COLLAPSE? Help me fill my cart and undertake some much needed literary consumer therapy! sevenstories.com/books/4657-con…
This is the reality that Prop 47 was responding to. Not surprising that voters have short memories, or that they care about their packages being stolen more than they do about prison conditions. But still, quite something.
Dear friends, please help us support the Palestinian writer and journalist Hedaya Shamoun and her family, who will be moving to Middletown this fall. Any amount helps. Thank you for your generosity. gofundme.com/f/support-heda…
New at PB, @aliceblackhurst asked @emilyennui, @EmKateRam, Marouane Bakhti, @LaurenElkin, Xiaolu Gu, @JoannaBiggs, @claireloufoster, @olibaes, @becbecliuliu to reflect on Marguerite Duras’s 1984 cult novel “The Lover,” published forty years ago. buff.ly/4dDGOkx
""Memory is a reconstructive, creative act: The “true” memory might be irretrievable, but the factitious image she creates in place of the “authentic” one is striking—and therein lies the distance between the voice and the author’s autobiography"" publicbooks.org/the-lover-40-a…
Isabella Hammad's 2023 Edward Said memorial lecture was about narrative turning points. But after Oct 7th she had her own turning point & wrote an afterword that reorients herself to her own speech. We discuss both today Audio📻: tinhouse.com/podcast/isabel… @PalFest @PenguinUKBooks
Eau de Echo Park après heat wave (baked trash, rotten figs, heady jasmine)
For the real Duras heads — based on a 1982 interview between Yann Andréa & Michèle Manceaux
(Non-fantasy) novels in which protagonist maintains sustained conversation with someone who is dead? Ali Smith's Artful... others?
You can get Emily’s knife-like memoir A MATTER OF APPEARANCE for 30% off, right now on the Seven Stories website: sevenstories.com/books/4503-a-m…
Don’t miss a brilliant new offering from @emilyennui about AI language models and a precocious French child poet, in the new issue of @LAReviewofBooks lareviewofbooks.org/article/out-of…
"The focus on the speech used tο support Palestinian rights does more than obscure the context in which protesters are speaking; it also obscures the reality about which they speak...Those bombs were not made of language, and they certainly were not metaphors."
i have been waiting for this clear-eyed, poignant and necessary essay by the ever-brilliant Isabella Hammad in NYRB. Read it here: nybooks.com/online/2024/06…
I won’t be shutting up about The Coin by Yasmin Zaher until it’s out from @CatapultStory in July. The story of a Palestinian woman in NY, a Birkin bag pyramid scheme, a quest for purity under capitalism ~ it’s elegant, menacing, & truly hilarious
