“These trees, these plants I have written to you about have taught me all I needed to know about your death.”B loves M, her favorite sister.Then M is gone—taken too young, too suddenly, under the strange and quiet shroud of the pandemic. In the absence that follows, B sets out each day into the vast wilds of Griffith Park with her dog, walking uphill and down in search of understanding, of peace, of reconciliation.She talks to her sister in the language of the landscape, sports with her in the shape-shifting form of the wild animals and plants of the park—rabbits, coyotes, snakes, owls, oleander, dodder, nettle, walnut. She leaves gifts—shells, stones, tokens of memory—and finds them answered in unexpected ways.B now finds herself open to the mystery of change—willing to release old habits, weary truths, impossible expectations, and the comforting fictions of family. She revisits her life as an anxious and dutiful daughter, sister, wife, mother, and artist, pausing to linger, to glance sideways, to laugh. She walks onward, guiding us gently toward a place we all must reach—where much can be left behind and a new wisdom awaits. And then she writes.Wild Things is the result: 59 letters to her sister, one for each year of her life, alive with grief, wonder, and transformation. A book about loss and about the radical clarity that comes when everything falls away––a luminous, unforgettable work.

What if the modern economy is full of jobs that everyone secretly knows are meaningless—but no one is allowed to admit it? In this incendiary and darkly funny essay, anthropologist David Graeber takes a flamethrower to the world of pointless bureaucracy, soul-crushing middle management, and the quiet misery of workers paid to pretend.Bullshit Jobs is part polemic, part social theory, and part cathartic scream—a razor-sharp diagnosis of a system that rewards appearance over substance, and a call to imagine something radically better.

New monograph on the ever popular Paula Rego, the pioneering and much loved artist who died in 2022 at the age of 87. This jewel of a book is the first to focus in detail on a range of Rego's literary sources, illuminating this key part of her practice. Paula Regos radical art drew inspiration from a vast range of sources from traditional folklore and fairy tales, to literary classics and nursery rhymes. For Rego, these sources conveyed essential truths about the world, and throughout her life she turned to stories written in the English language. Rego connected with these literary sources in very personal ways, using them to articulate the conditions of her own life as well as work through her own dreams, anxieties, desires, and fears. Paula Rego: Visions of English Literature will present three of the artists most ambitious series of graphic works - Jane Eyre, Nursery Rhymes and Peter Pan - in full colour, introduced in new essays by Marco Livingstone and Rosanna McLaughlin. These, alongside various ephemera - unseen preparatory sketches, etching plates and even Regos very own childhood copy of Peter Pan - offer audiences an intimate portrayal of the artists lifelong fascination with literature and an insight into how the artist transformed this material into startlingly original, rebellious and unexpected images.

An exploration of the impact of immersive experiences on visual practices from cave painting to virtual realityIn this groundbreaking book, philosopher Andrea Pinotti explores the impacts of a desire that has motivated human beings since prehistory: the desire to enter an image. He proposes that over the centuries, every culture has tried to realize this wish with whatever visual resources were available at the time, and today’s virtual reality technologies seem close to fulfilling it. The image in VR becomes an immersive 360-degree environment and the frame that used to confine it to a world apart disappears. Even the physical medium in which the image materializes appears to be transparent. However, Pinotti insists that once the border between the real world and the iconic world becomes permeable, we are faced with a troubling two-way passage: we penetrate the world of the image, but the image floods into our world. The desire for being encompassed by the image, he shows, is accompanied by fear of this overflowing. In its analysis of this desire/fear, At the Threshold of the Image takes the reader on an extraordinary journey from the myths of Narcissus and Pygmalion to contemporary VR headsets, passing through the pictorial traditions of trompe l’oeil and living sculptures, the mirrors in Alice in Wonderland, illusionistic architecture, panoramas and phantasmagorias, and 3D cinema.

The English-language debut of a beautiful and beguiling cycle of experimental texts by the legendary Marguerite Duras.In the late 1970s, Marguerite Duras embarked on an experimental journey to expand the boundaries of writing and film. For Duras, writing need not be text on a page nor cinema merely images on a screen. Six Films is the result of her efforts to redefine the two arts in order to create a hybrid work. Taking narration, voiceovers, and dialogue from six of her films, Duras re-envisions them as extended prose poems and monologues, tangling with self-identity, personal relationships, colonialism, and expression as the celluoid images recede and the text becomes the film itself. Now available for the first time in English, Six Films is a document of an artist at the apex of her creative prowess. Autorid: Marguerite Duras, Olivia Baes

A poetic celebration embracing our unfinished, imperfect, and authentic selves.The Never Was, the latest collection from best-selling poet Tyler Knott Gregson, marks a poignant return after nearly five years since his last book. Known for his typewritten poetry and heartfelt reflections, Gregson delves deeper than ever before, embracing vulnerability and authenticity. The title is inspired by a series of poetry fragments—bits and pieces that never found their way into complete poems. But after being diagnosed as Autistic in adulthood, Gregson discovered that these fragments held deeper meaning. They were more than just discarded lines; they were lifelines, offering solace during difficult days and capturing experiences that resonate deeply with anyone who identifies as neurodivergent. These raw, unpolished pieces appear alongside brand-new poems, creating a mosaic of thoughts and emotions that celebrate the power of the unfinished and the unrefined. This collection is an invitation for readers to embrace their own complexities, to find beauty in the pieces of themselves they once deemed unworthy, and to remember that every “never was” holds the potential to become something extraordinary.

Rafael Medoff examines what paved the way to the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and its aftermath. The Road to October 7 examines what paved the way for the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and its aftermath. Part 1, “The Present,” documents the Hamas invasion, the rise of Hamas, the education of Palestinian Arab children to hate and kill, the diplomatic decisions that helped enable the attack, and the propagation of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish libels. Part 2, “The Past,” analyzes how in both method and ideology, the Hamas assault echoed the pogroms in medieval Europe, Czarist Russia, and Ukraine; the Holocaust; and a century of Palestinian Arab terrorism. It also examines select American universities’ cultivation of friendly relations with Nazi Germany in the 1930s (the same universities that tolerated pro-Hamas protests after October 7) and October 7 as a turning point in the long history of antisemitism. Readers will emerge with important insights on the Hamas attack, antisemitic education in Palestinian Arab society, pro-Hamas groups on U.S. campuses, the responses of women’s and human rights organizations to mass sexual violence, misconceptions and fabrications about Israel’s conduct in the ensuing war, and why October 7 needs to be viewed as one segment of both the century-long Palestinian Arab war and the centuries-old international war against the Jewish people.

With an ally in Alice Mason, a homeless witness with a target on her back, Logan goes to war. Against whom, he isn't sure, but he knows powerful forces are at work behind the scenes.

Set in the 1960s, Nakedness is the tale of a young man who has just completed his military service and gone straight to Randava to surprise Marika, the beautiful woman with whom hes been corresponding for some time. The two have never met in person however, and when the young man arrives at her door, he quickly becomes entangled in a bizarre mystery: Marika claims that she has never written to him; in fact, she appears to be involved with someone else. And none of her flatmates will admit to sending the letters. Humiliated, he prepares to return to Riga, but is convinced by one of Marikas flatmates to stay a little longer a decision that throws him even deeper into the web of conflicting relationships he has unwittingly entered. Each clue he uncovers only makes things more confusing, and eventually the young mans own secrets and mendacity are also revealed. The nakedness that results from being deprived of our deceptions can be unpleasant, but it may be a necessary part of growing up and facing the world. Skuji is an original stylist capable of deploying acute psychological observation as well as clever and often witty imagery, and Uldis Balodis has managed to retain this in his excellent English translation. This novel will introduce the reader to a different world precisely because of the writing and the freshness of the dialogue, and not so much for the society it depicts, which resembles in some ways the mass society that also existed in Western Europe at the time, reminding us that even in those more hopeful times, the human condition was still a struggle with desires, ambitions and the image of ourselves we wish to project.

Perhaps human beings are animals, driven by the will to survive and reproduce, perhaps responsibility is a useful fiction and religion is the opium of the masses. Perhaps death is the end, life is ultimately meaningless, brutish and short. Perhaps man is the measure of all things and beauty, truth and justice are open to interpretation. Or, perhaps not. God matters. The choice over whether and what to believe is inescapable because it determines how we live our lives. Nothing matters more. Here is a book that encourages and enables students and general readers to ask fundamental questions about the nature and meaning of human life in an open, engaging but academically rigorous way. Centuries of scholarship in the Philosophy of Religion, from Jewish and Muslim as well as Christian traditions, are put in context and critically evaluated. Examples from art, film, and literature show the contemporary relevance of debates which have raged throughout human history. www.what-matters.org provides recommendations for further reading, a rich anthology of primary texts, questions for discussion and related activities.

"Really beautiful... If you're an Everton fan, you must buy this book. If you're a football fan of a certain age, I would really recommend it as well. A really funny, smart writer talking about football, his family and what it means. You will laugh and cry." Richard Osman, The Rest Is Entertainment podcast JIMMY MULVILLE is one of the most significant figures in British television as owner and managing director of Hat Trick Productions, creators of such hit shows as Drop The Dead Donkey, Outnumbered and Have I Got News For You.He is also a lifelong devotee of Everton FC, having grown up less than a mile from Goodison Park, and has loved them then left before returning to them over the course of their modern history of 80s success followed by regular Premier League struggles. In There's Gonna Be A Show, the Liverpool comprehensive kid who read Classics at Cambridge University tells how Everton have been the backdrop to his father's suicide and his own drug addiction; how he reconnected with his home city after getting clean and sober and helped Bill Kenwright buy the club. Taking as starting point the last game at Goodison Park, sponsored by Hat Trick, and ending with the first game at the new Hill Dickinson Stadum, this is a beautifully written memoir of football's emotional potency and poignancy.
