Immemorial

by Lauren Markham e Markham Lauren

~~16,32€~~ 14,69€ 10% OFF

 A speculative essay on language in the face of climate catastrophe: how we memorialize what has been lost and what soon will be, pushing public imagination into generative realms.“I am in need of a word,” writes Lauren Markham in an email to the Bureau of Linguistical Reality, an organization that coins neologisms. She describes her desire to memorialize something that is in the process of being lost—a landscape, a species, birdsong. How do we mourn the abstracted casualties of what’s to come? In a dazzling synthesis of reporting, memoir, and essay, Markham reflects on the design and function of memorials, from the traditional to the speculative—the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC, a converted prison in Ljubljana, a “ghost forest” of dead cedar trees in a Manhattan park—in an attempt to reckon with the grief of climate catastrophe. Can memorials look toward the future as they do to the past? How can we create “a psychic space for feeling” while spurring action and agitating for change?Immemorial is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.

Wilderness

by Aysegul Savas

~~22,51€~~ 20,26€ 10% OFF

 A deeply felt chronicle into the wilderness of the first forty days of new motherhood.In the final weeks of her pregnancy, Ayegül Sava becomes fascinated by the mythology around the first forty days after giving birth, and the invisible beings that are said to surround the mother. "In Turkish, we speak of extracting the forty days, like a sort of exorcism. My grandmothers assure me that it will all get better after forty days are out." A friend lends a book that suggests forty days of rest and fortifying broths and avoiding wind and cold. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, forty days are seen as a period of trial and transformation. They are often journeys into the wilderness and "its vast and unruly territories." When the baby arrives, Sava charts her own path into the wilderness of new motherhood—a space of contradiction, of chaos and care, mothering and being mothered. "What is the trial of the postpartum crossing?" writes Sava. "Where will mother and child emerge once they have left the wild?"

My Life As A Godard Movie

by Joanna Walsh

19,86€ + 10% CARD

 A book-length essay on beauty and revolution as seen through the work of Jean-Luc Godard.As Joanna Walsh watches the films of Jean-Luc Godard, she considers beauty and desire in life and art. "There’s a resistance, in Godard’s women," writes Walsh, "that is at the heart of his work (and theirs)." She is captivated by the Paris of his films and the often porous border between the city presented on screen and the one she inhabited herself. With cool precision, and in language that shines with aphoristic wit, Walsh has crafted an exquisitely intimate portrait of the way attention to works of art becomes attention to changes in ourselves. Taut and gem-like, My Life as a Godard Movie is a probing meditation by one of our most observant writers.My Life as a Godard Movie is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.

With an abiding curiosity and poetic ease, Oliver leads us through the underground city of Cappadocia, explores the vicissitudes of a Berlin marked by historical fracture, recalls a shocking childhood exodus, and recreates the intimacy of the spaces we inhabit. Blending criticism, reportage, and a travel writing all her own, Oliver presents a brilliant collection of essays that asks us what it means to leave the familiar behind and make the unfamiliar our own.
