He has included as well a number of deeply personal essays about his struggles with the loneliness, pain, and lack of mobility that came with being an amputee.

This is a book of ideas—possibly different and unusual ideas—that are often anti-intuitive, politically incorrect and contrary. It is about how humans view themselves, their world and the Universe. It is about something called a worldview—a collection of mental models that form a structure or frame-work with which the brain classifies and interprets incoming and existing input and forms the basis for what is though, believed, retained or dismissed.

¿Qué hace un escritor cuando no escribe? ¿Qué hace un escritor con resaca, o cuando una mujer espléndida lo invita a un trago durante un cóctel literario, o cuando ve dormir a su hijo, o cuando está solo en un cuarto de hotel? ¿De qué manera el magma formado por un accidente de bus, una película cursi y un premio literario transforman a un poeta desconocido en un escritor a quien reconocen hasta en el mall? ¿Cómo nace y cuán inconmovible es la vocación de alguien que escribe? Cuando Leila Guerriero recibió el encargo de hacer una antología de los textos que Pedro Mairal había publicado en distintos medios de comunicación, fue despiadada.

In 1892, Gertrude Bell visited Persia (now Iran) shortly after the appointment of her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, as British minister in Tehran. Three years later came Persian Pictures, Gertrude Bell’s first written work, which presents a series of vivid sketches of Persian culture and society at the time.

The Fable of the Bees—a satirical poem, prose discussion, three essays and six dialogues completed in 1729—exposes human vices but defends them as a necessity within a wealthy society. Mandeville’s bees thrive until they start living by honesty and virtue… then they are impoverished. Mandeville did not play by the rules: he satirized the sins of society but also ridiculed the widespread hypocrisy of deploring these sins whilst reaping their benefits. He and his work were attacked for the rest of the century.

In sixteen dazzling, expansive essays, the acclaimed essayist and poet Elisa Gabbert explores a life lived alongside books of all kinds: dog-eared and destroyed, cherished and discarded, classic and clichėd, familiar and profoundly new.
