Gornick V: The Odd Woman and the City /
B

The Odd Woman and the City

From the acclaimed filmmaker and Sunday Times bestselling author comes a frank, insightful and heartwarming exploration of the myriad issues surrounding contemporary motherhood. "It was the first time I'd ever signed 'Mummy', and it was a goodbye letter." "I feel so honoured to have carried you both for nine months and delivered you safely into the arms of your parents." "I knew I had to be in that little girl's life. The next time I got out, I never used drugs again." "As a refugee, I say to my daughter, 'You have been born in a safe place. Never take that for granted.'" After having her first child, Stacey Dooley had a new understanding of what family means - but not everyone's experience of motherhood is the same. In Dear Minnie, Stacey brings her trademark empathy and investigative skill to an entirely new 'frontline', exploring the varied perspectives of mothers of all experiences. Using letters that each mother has written to their child as her starting point, Stacey's frank, honest, and moving inquiry takes in experiences from pregnancy to birth and beyond, uncovering the messy truths and different emotional journeys women take, as well as the common bonds they all share. Dear Minnie shines a light on the quiet selflessness, resilience, pain, trauma, grief, and joy of every kind of mother, to tell a story that transcends culture and geography, and speaks to us all.

These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig. “Among the most provocative and compelling feminist political visions since The Second Sex. These essays represent the radical extension of de Beauvoir’s theory, its unexpected lesbian future. Wittig’s theoretical insights are both precise and far-reaching, and her theoretical style is bold, incisive, even shattering.” —Judith Butler, Johns Hopkins University

The Straight Mind

'Deeply researched and original' RUBY TANDOH, author of All Consuming 'Stunningly profound and politically rousing' SOPHIE LEWIS, author of Abolish the Family 'What a treat to be so compelled to turn the page' LOTTIE HAZELL, author of Piglet 'Witty, unsparing, surprising and rich' ALICIA KENNEDY, author of No Meat RequiredIf you are what you eat, what does that make you? Virtuous, cool, immortal? Or deviant, pitiful, ill? Is it useful to make these judgements? Do they help us improve our lives?In a world where it feels as though the value of your life can be gauged by the goodness in your dinner, it is possible, even easy, to lose the will to live. This became particularly obvious to writer Amber Husain when suddenly, despite almost thirty years of practice, it seemed she had forgotten how to eat.Medical wisdom tries fix the problem non-eater by teaching them the rules of Good Diet. But what if the problem is precisely the narrowing of life to questions of personal goodness? Suspecting there might be more to her stand-off with food than matters of identity and diet, Husain embarked on an enquiry into the special role of eating in our relationship with the world.Combining a personal account of modern eating-disorder treatments, from the disturbing to the sublime, with a sprawling collective history of eating in hard times, Tell Me How You Eat unearths the astonishing effect of how we feed ourselves and others, not just on who we are, but on how we perceive our own political power. In doing so, it marks a bold and inspiring confrontation with our very understanding of food.

The Storm in Our Hearts

Das Chelsea Hotel in New York ist seit den 1960er-Jahren ein ikonischer Ort der Kunst- und Musikszene. Von 1969 bis 1971 lebte auch der Künstler Albert Scopin dort, damals noch als Assistent der Fotografen Mikel Avedon und Bill King. Im Hotel herrschte nie Ruhe und alle, so schien es, waren auf der Suche nach etwas. Der junge Scopin suchte den unverstellten Blick auf die Menschen, die hier ein und ausgingen. Um die lebhaften Geschehnisse möglichst unbemerkt einzufangen, schaute er häufig nicht einmal durch den Sucher seiner einfachen Kodak Instamatic. Die dabei entstandenen Aufnahmen zeigen die noch unbekannten Patti Smith und Robert Mapplethorpe als junges Paar und als Individuen auf ihrem Weg zum Ruhm, ebenso Filmregisseure wie Wim Wenders, Rosa von Praunheim, Milos Forman und Jonas Mekas; die Warhol-Crowd führt ein Theaterstück auf; im Keller feiern die Hotelangestellten eine wilde Party; auf dem Dach sinniert man darüber, was die Zukunft bringen mag und schaut herunter auf eine Stadt, die darauf wartet erobert zu werden. Kurze Begleittexte des Künstlers und ein Interview runden den Band ab und vermitteln außergewöhnlich nahe Einblicke in die Welt hinter der Fassade des vielleicht berühmtesten Hotels der Welt.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING AN OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 'The most exquisitely written meditation on family, childhood, and nature' BERNARDINE EVARISTO 'An extraordinary, necessary book' ROBERT MACFARLANE 'Hold it in your hands and then dream of the green world' MONIQUE ROFFEY 'Surprising at every turn and rewarding in ways you never expect' MARLON JAMES 'A masterclass on how to write place, dreams and memory into being' OLIVE SENIOR The Possibility of Tenderness is a personal history narrated through the lens of the 'grung' and plants. It's also a people's history of the land, a family saga, an archival detective story through time. It's the migration tale of a young scholar who arrives in Britain from rural Jamaica to study at Oxford to achieve 'upward social mobility' and who now lives in Roundhay Leeds. Suddenly, amidst his journey of dreams and class aspiration, the plants and people of his native district, Coffee Grove, begin to offer different ways of living, alternative dreams, and the possibility of tenderness and the permission to roam England. Marrying the local and the familial with global history and unfolding as a timely and immersive tale of land, environment, and the world of plants, The Possibility of Tenderness reveals how the history of a tiny rural village in a mountainous region of Jamaica is interlinked with that of modern Britain. And, also what that rural village can teach us about leisure, land ownership and reclamation today. Mama, the author's grandmother, is a central protagonist of the story. Alongside her, herbalists, plant workers, farmers, and plant lovers help forge an intimate portrait of Coffee Grove, as do the plants themselves; fever grass, jointa, search mi heart, leaf of life, helping Allen-Paisant revise his sense of self and solidify a new understanding of his place in the world. The Possibility of Tenderness is a cross-pollinating book about the transformative power of plants, the legacy of dreams, and the lessons they offer for living with the earth.

A Jamaican memoir of plants and dreams

The Possibility of Tenderness

A gripping portrait of Witold Gombrowicz, a literary figure on the margins who rose to prominence late in life to become 'one of the greatest novelists of our century' (Milan Kundera). In August 1939, a ship flying the Polish flag docked in Buenos Aires. On board was a delegation of businessmen, diplomats and journalists. Days later, the captain received orders to return home with all crew and passengers in light of the imminent outbreak of the Second World War. But one man, fascinated by the city, chose to stay at the very last minute. Thus began the unexpected twenty-four-year Argentine exile of one of the twentieth century's major writers: Witold Gombrowicz. Drawing on his writings and interviews with surviving disciples, writers and scholars, Mercedes Halfon's Outsider Everywhere traces Gombrowicz's Argentine years in elegant, pared-back prose, and composes a vivid account of mid-century bohemia in Buenos Aires. Brilliantly translated by Rahul Bery, Mercedes Halfon's Outsider Everywhere is a gripping portrait of a literary figure on the margins who rose to prominence late in life to become 'one of the greatest novelists of our century' (Milan Kundera).

Outsider Everywhere

From James B. Stewart, the New York Times bestselling co-author of Unscripted and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, a deeply reported investigation into Harvard University, what happened when the Trump administration declared war on it, and the epic battle between the old guard and new money for control over a fabled institution Harvard University, a symbol of excellence and prestige for nearly 400 years, has been under attack. The assault, by no means limited to the right-wing attacks on DEI, or the lawsuits brought by the Trump administration over billions of dollars in Federal funding, has exposed deep fault lines within academia and American society at large. The Harvard presidency is arguably the most powerful and influential position in academia, not least because it comes with huge sway over the university’s vast $68 billion endowment. Beginning with the controversial tenure of Lawrence Summers as president of Harvard, James Stewart goes behind the scenes with power brokers and students alike to reveal how Summers’s abrupt departure set the stage for a progressive backlash when Drew Faust was hired as his replacement, and for the choice of Claudine Gay as the university’s first Black president. After Hamas attacked Israel, Republican Congresswoman and Harvard graduate Elise Stefanik led a Congressional inquiry into antisemitism on campus. As the controversy intensified, Gay was accused of plagiarism and forced to resign. But these events were only the preamble to the multiple lawsuits the second Trump administration would file against Harvard in the years to come, forcing Harvard into the impossible position of trying to defend academic freedom at the risk of losing crucial funding. A propulsive, character-driven narrative, replete with bold-faced names, combining deep investigative reporting and breaking news, this will be the definitive account of an institution on the brink. Using Harvard as the prism, Stewart confronts some of the most entrenched and sensitive fault lines of our polarized age, as the countervailing forces of meritocracy, elitism, identity politics, and tradition bear down on higher education from all sides. At stake is not only the future of Harvard, America’s preeminent university, but the very idea of education itself, and the unending struggle for the soul of the nation.

Ivory Tower

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weekly nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Writing Through Capitalist Realisms

Against Nonfiction

Vor hundert Jahren, im Herbst 1925, bricht Hermann Hesse zu einer Lesereise nach Ulm, Augsburg und Nürnberg auf. Er sucht und findet in seiner "schwäbischen Heimat" die Sehnsuchtsorte der Kindheit.Und er erkennt jene unheilvollen kulturellen und politischen Entwicklungen, die dasEuropa der Zukunft fordern werden.

Einige Jahre zuvor, in den Sommern 1921/22, urlauben Dadaisten im Tiroler Provinznest Tarrenz. Noch arbeiten sie gemeinsam, doch das große Zerwürfnis zeichnet sich ab. Der Dadaismus als radikal-avantgardistischer Protest gegen die Auswüchse von Krieg und Materialismus wird anderen Kulturströmungen weichen. Diese lassen sich einspannen für Autoritarismus und Totalitarismus in neuem Gewand.

Admiral Mahic ist bosnischer Lyriker. Ihn prägen die autoritären Verhältnisse im realsozialistischen Jugoslawien und die Verwerfungen der Umbruchszeit. Der Admiral hält sich mit explizit politischen Kommentaren zurück - und wird, mit seinen treffenden Metaphern, zu einer Galionsfigur des liberal-demokratischen Aufbruchs. Peter Handke, "unpolitischer Bewohner des Elfenbeinturms", wird politisch. Er ergreift, während und nach den jugoslawischen Separationskriegen, Partei - für sein "Neuntes Land", das alte Jugoslawien, aber auch den serbischen Nationalismus.

'Shane is the Indiana Jones of the running world' - Damian Hall, ultra marathon runner Rejuvenate your mindset and unlock your running potential In The Lost Art of Running, Shane Benzie discovered how reconnecting with the human body can revolutionise our running and how we live our lives. Moving his focus from our 'hardware' to our 'software', he now embarks on a journey to illuminate the secrets of the human mind. Shane once again travels the globe in search of answers, discovering the minds and techniques of individuals who push the extreme limits of human performance. He meets big wave surfers and free solo climbers, observes ultra-runners crossing the mountain ranges of Kyrgyzstan, seeks wisdoms from Buddhist monks in Myanmar and even swims with orcas in the freezing depths of the Norwegian fjords. Along the way, he will introduce you to powerful tools - like body and mind mapping - that will transform the way you approach your training, bring your running into sharper focus and ensure that the best coach for your mind and body is none other than you. Part narrative, part coaching session (and always full-time adventure), Shane dives deep into the inner workings of the human mind. He shows how we can rediscover our lost ability to learn, rejuvenate our running, take ownership of our movement and, ultimately, reach our own limitless potential.
