Depuis toujours, Claire Berest ausculte le point de bascule de nos vies, que ce soit dans l'espace du couple ou dans l'espace social.

De cette expérience et de son obsession du fait divers, dans un subtil jeu de miroir entre introspection et enquête, elle signe un récit fascinant sur les coulisses du mal et sur une femme devenue l'emblème du combat féministe.

A lifetime of playing by the rules of female social conditioning is not what it’s cracked up to be for Nolan. The years of making herself smaller (literally and metaphorically); the sexual advances that led to more than she wanted; the bad marriage she fought like hell to keep; all the ways others questioned her identity or choices and she let it slide to keep the peace; her silence when requested; her body when desired—none of it worked.

Beginning with a jaw-dropping rumination on a centuries-old painting featuring a white man with a Black man's leg surgically attached (with the expired Black leg-donor in the foreground), contracts law scholar and celebrated journalist Patricia J. Williams uses the lens of the law to take on core questions of identity, ethics, and race.

After a decade of teaching writing and literature at the college level, Gideon Rappaport taught high school English for thirty-two years, during which time he was also teaching adult education classes, working as a theatrical dramaturge, and writing.

Continuing the pitch-perfect critiques begun in The Great Movies, Roger Ebert's The Great Movies II collects 100 additional essays, each one of them a gem of critical appreciation and an amalgam of love, analysis, and history that will send listeners back to films with a fresh set of eyes and renewed enthusiasm—or perhaps to an avid first-time viewing.

勤め人となり2年半。やっぱりマリコは忙しい。三が日は大手町へゆき、沿道から駅伝の応援だ。4年ぶりの出場となった日大へ向け学生たちと校歌を歌ううち、アンカーが目の前に。声を揃えてその名を叫べば、思わず目頭が熱くなる。

Harper Lee (1926-2016), Verfasserin des berühmten Romans Wer die Nachtigall stört, ist eine der größten und wichtigsten amerikanischen Autorinnen, dennoch ist über ihre schriftstellerischen Anfänge bisher nur wenig bekannt. In The Land of Sweet Forever (Originaltitel) werden nun acht bisher unveröffentlichte Erzählungen der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht, die aus den frühen Jahren ihrer Schriftstellerkarriere stammen und nach Lees Tod in ihrer New Yorker Wohnung gefunden wurden.

Un retrato perspicaz y atrevido de la masculinidad contemporánea. Cualquier feminista que haya dialogado ante el público sobre las frustraciones y los lastres innatos a la aventura de ser mujer habrá tenido que enfrentarse alguna vez a la pregunta: «¿Y los hombres qué?». Y si la feminista en cuestión lleva años intentando convencer a ese público de que las preocupaciones de ambos sexos son cosas muy distintas, su respuesta automática, muy probablemente, habrá sido algo como: «¿Por qué me sacan este tema? ¡Yo soy feminista! ¡Mi especialidad son las mujeres! No me ocupo de… los otros».

"私はここからどう老いていこう？自分自身が最も心地よく過ごせる「エイジングの流派」を、見つけたい。"

Desde mediados del siglo XX, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado en occidente de veinte a treinta años, lo que equivale a toda una existencia en el siglo XVII. Así pues, al llegar a los cincuenta años, experimentamos una suerte de suspensión entre la madurez y la vejez, un intervalo en el que la brevedad de la vida realmente comienza, mientras nos planteamos las grandes cuestiones de nuestra condición.

Since the dawn of time, punctuality has been a scam. You rush to get ready for an event, only to discover that your pants have a hole in them, there’s a chance of rain, and the train is skipping your stop, so now the fastest method is a $100 rideshare to go 2 miles. And for what? To arrive “on time” rather than “whenever I want”? Enough is enough. In Colored People Time, Manny Fidel bravely confronts this injustice head-on, arguing that until America reaches genuine racial equity, people of color are allowed—nay, encouraged—to be late to anything they want.

Each captivating entry is a celebration of simple pleasures. From the pleasure of picking sun-warmed cherries to the comfort of a perfectly cooked meal, Adler’s reflections range from short, lyrical musings—a series of phrases, a list of words, a quick poem—to longer, thought-provoking meditations. All in all, they represent the kitchen (and adjacent) happinesses of one year. Step into a world where cooking becomes a meditative, soothing retreat. Adler brings her signature warmth and poetic charm to this daily devotional of sorts.

Inspired by Saeed Jones and Maggie Smith’s conversations in the wake of the 2024 election, this is a collection of poems, essays, and visual art on what we—individually and collectively—can hold onto, and what we can work towards. In times of difficulty, with a government working against its own people, we must turn to our friends and loved ones to provide context, language, energy, and hope. The People’s Project offers a range of perspectives, drawing wisdom from their communities and histories.
