Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An essay about politics, humility, and loss You are a loser. For psychoanalysis, this isnt a personal slight, but an impersonal truth. So why have we come to fear losing? Loser was Donald Trumps favourite insult within a hotly contested field. But while progressives disdain his divisive politics, t…hey have mostly failed to challenge meritocratic values that divide society into winners and losers. How might we truly escape our toxic political culture? In this powerful, wide-ranging essay, psychoanalyst and critic Josh Cohen suggests that the answer may lie in a notion of humility. Far from a sentimental moral virtue, humility may well be the most elusive, precarious, and indeed radical value of all, one which relies upon a full-hearted embrace of ones inner loser. Enlisting the help of a cast of unlikely comrades Thomas Bernhard, Franz Kafka, and Robert Walser Cohen shows how we might move beyond a culture based on enforced positivity, resentment, and humiliation. Praise Josh Cohen has made perhaps the most pernicious, offensive and distracting word in the English language of amazing and illuminating interest. This is a remarkable and clarifying book. Adam Phillips With compassion, skill and verve, Josh Cohen eloquently dismantles societal and personal delusions about winning and losing. This is exactly the conversation we need to be having right now. Deborah Levy Eloquent, urgent, this breath-taking essay, bristles with wit and analytic understanding. Our social settlements, our lying politicians, our very language of winners and losers has never undergone this kind of rigorous dissection before. A tour de force or should I say a losers triumph Lisa Appignanesi Josh Cohens Losers feels necessary: a profound meditation and an ethical salve for a world that wounds us with its increasing ethos of success-at-any-cost. With gentleness, he guides us through the paradoxes of humility, uncertainty, neutrality, and the excess of shame and humiliation that lurks behind todays peculiar brand of triumphalism. Jamieson Webster. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Sterling is arrested one morning without having done anything wrong. Plunged into a terrifying and nonsensical world, Sterling with the help of their three best friends must defy bullfighters, football players and spaceships in order to exonerate themselves and to hold the powers that be to account…. Sterling Karat Gold is Kafkas The Trial written for the era of gaslighting a surreal inquiry into the real effects of state violence on gender-nonconforming, working-class and black bodies. Following the Goldsmiths Prizenominated We Are Made of Diamond Stuff, Isabel Waidners latest novel proposes community, inventiveness and the stubborn refusal to lie low as antidotes against marginalisation and towards fiercer futures. Praise: Ferocious and nebular, kind and strangewhere strange means queer, surprising and outside ofSterling Karat Gold crackles on the edge of new language(s) while simultaneously demolishing language altogether. Narrator Sterling (think a nonbinary young Genet in foam spikes) is fomenting and canny, bent on surviving the mania of a rapidly morphing and out of control British regime. But what to lob against murderous nationalist illogics? Like all Waidners words, each verbal pulse is funneled velocity, gives no Fs, scraps for its place on the page, belongs, glitters. As much an elegy to the loss of mother tongues as mothers (also anticapitalist spaceships, friends, bodies, generations to AIDS, self), Waidner makes soft bombs of binaries, shows again and again how violence against bipoc, migrant, queer life is not fiction, and that liberation and alliance are inseparable. Sterling Karat Gold is fervid, focused, felt in all of its wholly radical clamor. The stakes? Our chest bones and tender communities inside. The mode? A Born-in-Flames-style reckoning that changes futures/leaves no one behind, ie, love. Jess Arndt, author of Large Animals. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A mesmerising and unsettling novel from a powerful new voice Seeking release from their small-town existence, two teenagers drive north on a vaguely plotted road trip. Adam and Teddy hope to leave boyhood behind. But they carry with them all the upsets and resentments they have accrued in their unh…appy lives to date. As the pair's journey progresses, the mood fluctuates as each of them sets out to prove himself. The dynamics of their friendship begin to unravel, culminating in an act of devastating - and all too familiar - violence. In taut and stylish prose, The Passenger Seat examines how men learn and perform masculinity. Rejecting easy answers, it keeps our eyes trained on the vanishing point where vulnerability edges into violence, alienation into aggression. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Lovebug, Daisy Lafarge explores metaphors of love and disease as she seeks to understand human vulnerability and our intimacy with microbial life. Turning to microbiology, mysticism, and psychoanalysis as well as the raw materials of love and life Lafarge navigates the uncomfortable intimacy bet…ween the human body and the many bacteria, vi-ruses, and parasites to which it is host. Lovebug is a book about the poetics of infection, and about how we can learn to live with multispecies ambivalence. How might we forge non-phobic relationships to our little beasts? How might we re-wild our imaginations? In weaving the personal with the pathological, Lovebug complicates the idea of coherent selfhood, revealing life as a site of radical vulnerability and an ongoing negotiation with limit. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A personal essay on exposure, auto-fiction, internet feminism and the anxiety epidemic. Last year Olivia Sudjic published Sympathy, a novel about surveillance and connection in the internet age. If a debut novel is written by a woman, it is often read and discussed as if it were a memoir. Suddenly…Sudjic found herself shoved under the microscope, subject to same surveillance apparatus she had dissected in her novel. In this incisive personal essay, Olivia Sudjic draws on her experience to examine the damaging expectations that attend any young female artist, as well the strategies by which they might be evaded. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When unambitious scholar Ramon Beltra receives a mysterious invitation to a lucrative six-month fellowship at the University of Lerna in Switzerland, he reluctantly complies with the unusual qualifying paperwork requiring several pages of detailed measurements and photographs of his entire body. Be…ltra soon finds himself in the deserted university town of Lerna, together with twenty-three other 'novices' subject to the same undisclosed project all of them doppelgangers of Beltra himself. At first, Beltra is the only one to bristle at the school's dizzying array of rules and regulations, but this all changes with the onset of an uncontrollable epidemic, and the fellows begin dying off one by one.The Novices of Lerna is a meditation on identity, surveillance, and isolation that remains eerily relevant. Shot through with wry humour and tender absurdity, this novella offers a perfect introduction to Angel Bonomini's incomparable body of work. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A former historian is spending time in a residential home but is it an artists retreat, a sanatorium, or a psychiatric hospital?In hypnotic and digressive prose, Tillman's narrator spins tales of her life while ruminating on her many and varied preoccupations: chair design, the Manson family, the Z…ulu alphabet, the death of a pet, family trauma, loneliness - and above all, skin and the meaning of 'sensitivity' in contemporary society. Meanwhile, these reveries and reminiscences are constantly interrupted by the presence of her fellow residents, each with their own obsessions and neuroses. In this masterful novel, now available in the UK for the first time, Tillman fashions nothing less than a microcosm of troubled American democracy. American Genius, A Comedy reinvents the modernist novel for our distracted and hypermediated era - it is the tale of a consciousness that is expansive and exacting and utterly compelling. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Raised from babydom into doubt, Im as feminine as Rousseau. I, Hazel Brown, eldest daughter of a disappearing class, penniless neophyte stunned by the glamour of literature, tradeless, clueless, yet with considerable moral stamina and luck, left my family at seventeen to seek a way to live. It was…the month of June in 1979. I was looking for Beauty: I didnt exactly care about art, I simply wanted not to be bored and to experience grace. So I thought I would write. One morning, Hazel Brown wakes in a badly decorated hotel room to find that shes written the complete works of Charles Baudelaire. In her bemusement the hotel becomes every cheap room she ever stayed in during her youthful perambulations in 1980s Paris. This is the legend of a she-dandys life. Woven into the reminiscences of Hazels early life are episodes from Baudelaires youth, as well as reflections on the history of tailoring, the passion of reading and 19th century painting. Lisa Robertsons debut novel is an exploration of life lived in pursuit of beauty, and a celebration of the mind of a girl. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Over the past decade, we have begun to talk more openly about the widespread harm inflicted by men on women. But little has been said about the fact that many of these men are also fathers.InDaddy IssuesKatherine Angel draws on thinkers and writers from D. W. Winnicott to Valerie Solanas, from Virg…inia Woolf to Alison Bechdel, as she examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture.She tracks how the relationship between fathers and daughters is so often presented as a twisted romance, with the burden falling always on the daughter.Bold, challenging and nuanced,Daddy Issuesasks how the mixture of love and hatred we feel towards our fathers can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. If we are to effectively dismantle patriarchy, it is vital that fathers are kept on the hook. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
