On Women Bok
<p><b><i>'</i>Forceful, sympathetic, exceedingly truthful, and capacious in their imagination of what a woman is or could be' <i>The New Yorker<br/><br/>On Women</i> brings together Susan Sontag's most fearless and incisive writing on women</b><br/><br/>Written during the height of second-wave feminism, Sontag's essays remain strikingly relevant to our contemporary conversations. At times powerfully in sync and at others powerfully at odds with them, they are always characteristically original in their examinations of the 'biological division of labour', the double-standard for ageing and the dynamics of women's power and powerlessness.<br/><br/>As Merve Emre writes in her introduction, <i>On Women </i>offers us 'the spectacle of a ferocious intellect setting itself to the task at hand: to articulate the politics and aesthetics of being a woman in the United States, the Americas and the world.'<br/><br/><b>'Sontag had iconic status as a writer and activist . . . Hers was a brilliant, glittering intelligence' <i>Sunday Times</i></b></p>

On Reflection Bok
<p>In <i>On Reflection</i> Richard Holloway thinks back on some of the questions that have shaped his life. Here, then, are the big asks: is there a God? How can we forgive? Where does creativity come from? How can we face loss and death? How can we live a good life? And how do we find beauty in the world?<br/><br/>To this cause he also recruits the help of poets, writers, musicians and artists, whose own wisdom can help us navigate life's challenges. To 'reflect on' can also mean to change your mind; a necessary facility in any well-lived life. And this leads us to more of our big asks: how do we change the world for the better? How do we heal divisions? How does a society move forward?<br/><br/>In beautiful prose, and with care and joy, Richard Holloway offers his reflections on how a good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.</p>

Feeding The Monster Bok
<p><i>Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. </i>All<i> monsters need feeding.</i><br/><br/>Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of <i>The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Haunting of Hill House, Yellowjackets</i> and countless other horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: <i>what's wrong with you?</i> Implying, of course, that there is something <i>not quite right</i> about the people who make and consume it. In <i>Feeding the Monster</i>, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power.</p>

Time's Echo Bok
<p>When it comes to how societies commemorate their own distant dreams and catastrophes, we often think of books, archives, or memorials carved from stone. But in Time's Echo, Jeremy Eichler makes a revelatory case for the power of music as culture's memory, an art form uniquely capable of carrying forward meaning from the past.<br/><br/>Eichler shows how four towering composers - Richard Strauss, Arnold Schoenberg, Benjamin Britten and Dmitri Shostakovich - lived through the era of the Second World War and the Holocaust and later transformed their experiences into deeply moving works of music, scores that carry forward the echoes of lost time. A lyrical narrative full of insight and compassion, this book deepens how we think about the legacies of war, the presence of the past, and the profound possibilities of art in our lives today.</p>

An Inconvenient Place Bok
<p>What is a place? A place where things happened, horrible things, the traces of which have been erased? Ukraine, for a long time, has been filled with these 'inconvenient places' which embarrass everyone, no matter which side of post-Soviet memorial politics they stand on: crimes of Stalinism, crimes of Nazism, crimes of nationalists, crimes of Russians; the killings follow one after -another on this battered territory which aspires only to a form of peace and normality.<br/>With the photographer Antoine d'Agata, before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Jonathan Littell began to survey Babyn Yar, the site of the 1941 massacre of the Jews of Kyiv, and the traces left on the landscape. The war came to interrupt their work. It resumed quite quickly in another form, in another place, the small sub-urban town of Bucha, which became infamous after the discovery of the atrocities perpetrated there by the Russian occupying forces. Again, a place where things happened; again, a place whose traces we erase as quickly as possible. How then to write, how to photograph when, there is literally nothing to see - or almost nothing? </p>
