Raw, moving and seriously funny, How to Lose Your Mother is her account of a sometimes chaotic upbringing and how that can really mess you up. But with her mother's heartbreaking descent into dementia, and Molly's realization that she is going to lose this remarkable woman, it is also a story of love, loss, confusion and deep grief. Taking us behind the scenes of a fascinating and sometimes tumultuous family dynamic, it leaves us with a better understanding of our own most precious relationships.

Planetary Sustainability and Literary Responses

Decolonial Hope

Nobel laureate and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Beloved Toni Morrison investigates Black characters in the American literary canon and the way they shaped the nation’s collective unconscious. In a dazzling series of lectures from her tenure as a professor at Princeton University, Toni Morrison interrogates America’s most famous works and authors, drawing a direct line from the Black bodies that built the nation to the Black characters that many of the country’s canonical white writers imagined in their work. Morrison sees these fictions as a form of creation and projection, arguing that they helped manufacture American racial identity—these “Africanist” presences are “the shadow that makes light possible,” as Morrison writes, and the reflections of their authors’ own deepest fears, insecurities, and longings. With profound erudition and wit, Morrison breaks wide open the American conception of race with energetic, enlivening readings of the nation’s canon, revealing that our liberation from these diminishing notions comes through language. “How,” Morrison wonders, “could one speak of profit, of economy, of labor, or progress, of suffragism, or Christianity, of the frontier, of the formation of new states, the acquisition of new lands . . . of practically anything a new nation concerns itself with—without having as a referent, at the heart of the discourse or defining its edges, the presence of Africans and/or their descendants?” To read these lectures, collected here for the first time, is to encounter Morrison, not just the writer but also the teacher, in the most penetrating and subversive way yet. With a foreword by her son Ford Morrison and an introduction by her Princeton comparative literature colleague Claudia Brodsky, Language as Liberation is a revelatory collection that promises to redefine the American canon.

Global Perspectives in Comics Studies

Exploring Ecological Issues in Graphic Narratives positions graphic storytelling at the intersection of ecocriticism, environmental justice, and Comics Studies. This book argues that ecological catastrophe is not only a scientific or policy crisis but also a crisis of representation, set against the backdrop of climate change, biodiversity loss, and systemic environmental inequity.While ecocriticism has expanded significantly, this book largely focuses on canonical prose, overlooking the multimodal and spatial possibilities of graphic narratives. It critically engages with the Anthropocene, highlighting the deep connections between environmental degradation and colonialism, capitalism, caste oppression, and gendered exploitation. Through global case studies-including Indigenous resistance in Canada's oil sands, Dalit environmental aesthetics in India, Japanese eco-dystopian manga, and urban human-animal reconfigurations-it explores how graphic narratives depict "slow violence," express nonhuman agency, and challenge anthropocentric binaries.Part of the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series, this book addresses the multilingual dimensions of the comics medium, often overlooked in ecocriticism, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. With its international scope, it will appeal to academics, students, activists, artists, educators, policy-makers, and graphic novel enthusiasts exploring ecological issues, environmental justice, and the interdisciplinary potential of graphic narratives, particularly in regions where comics and graphic novels thrive.

Literatur in der digitalen Gesellschaft

Literatur im Internet bedeutet oft Genrefizierung. Dabei werden Leser*innen mehr und mehr zu Nutzer*innen: Sie lesen, bewerten sowie empfehlen Bücher und schreiben eigene Geschichten in digitalen Netzwerkstrukturen - die selbst wiederum die Nutzer*innen 'lesen', indem sie Daten aufzeichnen und vorschlagen, welche Titel als nächstes ins Leseprofil passen. Wie nehmen Nutzer*innen und Fans Einfluss auf diese Prozesse? Wie können Sie ihre Interessen bewahren und Agenden durchsetzen? Und inwiefern sind sie dabei durch ihre Mitwirkung an der Durchsetzung neuartiger Konsumkulturen Formen von Ausbeutung ausgesetzt? Anke Dyes wirft anhand von Liebesromanen einen Blick auf digitale Kulturen des Lesens und analysiert die Interdependenzen zwischen Mensch und Algorithmus.

Totally Taylor Tattoos

From America's most acclaimed satirist and the author of the book that became the Apple+ hit Bad Monkey, Fever Beach is an unmissable skewering of American politics in all its ridiculousness. Dale Figgo is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. Now his already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries. The first is Viva Morales, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the supposedly philanthropic Mink Foundation and renting a room in Figgo's apartment; the second, Twilly Spree, a millionaire with an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment. Together, Viva and Twilly are plunged into a mystery involving dark money and darker motives, one they are determined to solve. Into this web come a cavalcade of outrageous characters, from corrupt politicians to white power idiots, all of whose fates are bound together via Figgo in a novel that is both a vicious state-of-the-nation satire and a hilarious thriller.
