The Verso Book of Dissent- From Spartacus to the Shoe-Thrower of Baghdad

The Verso Book of Dissent: From Spartacus to the Shoe-Thrower of Baghdad - $325

6 June, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  A sparkling anthology of revolt and resistance to orthodoxy and repression. Throughout the ages and across every continent, people have struggled against those in power and raised their voices in protest—rallying others around them and inspiring uprisings in eras yet to come. Their echoes reverberate from Ancient Greece, China and Egypt, via the dissident poets and philosophers of Islam and Judaism, through to the Arab slave revolts and anti-Ottoman rebellions of the Middle Ages. These sources were tapped during […]

Today I Wrote Nothing- The Selected Writings of Daniil Kharms

Today I Wrote Nothing: The Selected Writings of Daniil Kharms -$275

28 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Daniil Kharms has long been heralded as one of the most iconoclastic writers of the Soviet era, but the full breadth of his achievement is only in recent years, following the opening of Kharms‘ archives, being recognized internationally. In this brilliant translation by Matvei Yankelevich, English-language readers now have a comprehensive collection of the prose and poetry that secured Kharms’s literary reputation–a reputation that grew in Russia even as the Soviet establishment worked to suppress it. A master of […]

CivilWarLand in Bad Decline

CivilWarLand in Bad Decline – $295

23 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  In this debut collection of seven dystopian fantasies, some of which have appeared in the New Yorker and Harper’s, America in the near future is a toxic wasteland overrun by vicious thugs and venal opportunists who prey on the weak and misshapen. Saunders’s feverish imagination conjures up images as horrific as any from a Hieronymus Bosch painting: a field full of braying mules toppled over from bone marrow disease; a tourist attraction featuring pickled stillborn babies; and cows with […]

Gardens - Robert Pogue Harrison

Gardens: An Essay on the Human Condition - $295

21 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Humans have long turned to gardens—both real and imaginary—for sanctuary from the frenzy and tumult that surrounds them. Those gardens may be as far away from everyday reality as Gilgamesh’s garden of the gods or as near as our own backyard, but in their very conception and the marks they bear of human care and cultivation, gardens stand as restorative, nourishing, necessary havens. With Gardens, Robert Pogue Harrison graces readers with a thoughtful, wide-ranging examination of the many ways gardens […]

Curiosity and method

Curiosity and Method: Ten Years of Cabinet Magazine – $575

8 January, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Since its launch in late 2000, Cabinet magazine has become a touchstone for a certain approach to understanding culture, one that shuns orthodox distinctions–high/low, serious/humorous, professional/amateur–in favor of a commitment to the idea that all objects, practices and discourses can, if read against the grain, teach us something important about the world. Its hybrid sensibility merges the visually engaging style of an arts periodical, the exuberance of a fanzine and the in-depth exploration of a scholarly journal to create a sourcebook of […]

Capturing the scope of this country’s rich diversity and distinction as no other book has done—with more than a hundred […]
