Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gary Shipley's On the Verge of Nothing moves according to a patient logic, asking us to consider what follows when we begin from pessimism, rather than arriving at it. Through Shipley's ciphers - Nietzsche, Pessoa, Lispector, contemporary performance art - pessimism is illuminated as at once unliveable and unconsolable, and yet unavoidable. Reading On the Verge of Nothing, the primordial philosophical question of 'how to live' now takes on contours that are colder, more detached, and yet, somehow, deeply engaged. Eugene Thacker, author of Infinite Resignation Beginning insistently with the end of thought, this panegyric of the pointless offers a withering post-pessimistic ethics and aesthetics of diversionary tactics for life in the void. Territories traversed include dreams and delusions, the limits and purpose of self-consciousness, human animality, and the paradox of feeling-thinking. Gary J Shipley's lucid, often pitiless diagnoses; rigorous, informed, and tight arguments; bons mots and essential apercus - larded with a rich compost of quotation (Pessoa, Lispector, Cioran, Kafka, etc.) - pursue a relentless thrashing of thought, sketching both a Bartlett's and a Baedeker of our inevitable doom. These essays, aphorisms, fragments, and quotations have been shored not against but amidst ruin. Experimental, exploratory soundings and performances, a fantasia for the end of the world: this word horde is an essential drug for addicts of the impossible. Stuart Kendall, author of Georges Bataille Pessimism is the tenor of our times, even if it is rarely fully embraced. Gary J. Shipley's important book not only embraces pessimism, it offers a way to make life liveable not in the modality of morose resignation, but with enthusiasm. This is an achievement, even for pessimists who regard all achievement as ultimately futile. Scott Wilson, author of The Order of Joy (from the Foreword). …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Absurdist horror at its best. Gary Shipley had me hooked from beginning to end.' - Carlton Mellick III, author of Quicksand HouseSomething is horribly wrong with my wife. She doesn't move anymore. When I try to lift her I can't. It's like she's glued to the floor, or impaled on something. But her body keeps randomly appearing around the house in contorted positions: facedown in the hallway, at the end of our daughter's bed, and on the ceiling of the main room, her feet, hands and backside flat to the plaster.There is a cold translucent slime coating her skin. The scent of her is intense and repugnant, and yet I am finding myself increasingly drawn to her. I have a burning desire to merge with her. The children, too, want to be near her. Sitting on top of her brings them comfort as they stare at their tablets and phones. We stop going to work or to school. We feed from her. We begin to change. And we are not the only ones.The Unyielding is a darkly surreal tale that details what happens to a family when one of its members becomes an immovable: an entity that while corpse-like is also spatially-inconstant, oddly nutritious, and excessively seductive to surrounding humans. If you've ever wondered what philosophical pessimism looks like in the flesh, it looks like this.…
