To The Friend Who Did Not Save My Life

de Hervé Guibert

45,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A novel that describes, with devastating, darkly comic clarity, its narrator''s experience of being diagnosed with AIDS.First published by Gallimard in 1990, To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life describes, with devastating, darkly comic clarity, its narrator''s experience of being diagnosed with AIDS. Guibert chronicles three months in the penultimate year of the narrator''s life as, in the wake of his friend Muzil''s death, he goes from one quack doctor to another, describing the progression of the disease and recording the reactions of his many friends. The novel scandalized the French media, which quickly identified Muzil as Guibert''s close friend Michel Foucault. To the Friend became a bestseller, and Guibert a celebrity. Guibert continued to document the daily experiences of his body in a series of novels and diaries, mostly published posthumously. To the Friend has since attained a cult following for its intimate and candid tone, its fragmented and slippery form. As Edmund White observed, "[Guibert''s] very taste for the grotesque, this compulsion to offend, finally affords him the necessary rhetorical panache to convey the full, exhilarating horror of his predicament." In his struggle to piece together a language suited to his suffering, Hervé Guibert catapulted himself into notoriety and sealed his reputation for uncompromising, transgressive prose.

Mycelium

de Annette Weisser

42,40€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In a novel set against a transforming Berlin, an artist confronts a diagnosis of breast cancer.Going to openings and parties, setting up a studio and breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, Noora is living the post-art school life in Berlin when, in 2005, she''s diagnosed with breast cancer. Vaguely restless, until now she''s been neither happy nor unhappy, but her entry into what she calls "Cancerland" forces her to question the assumptions by which she lived her life so far. Uneasily, she realizes that the "relationships of the soul" she and her friends value over everything else might not be as indelible as family, after all. In this sharp and picaresque first novel, conceptual artist Annette Weisser depicts the transformation of Berlin from the frontier city of the cold war to an international art hub as an analog and backdrop to the chaotic, corporeal transformation Noora undergoes through cancer and its treatments. Written in the casual, associative style of a female coming-of-age novel, Mycelium examines German trauma, art school dramas, and the inevitable parsing into winners and losers that her generation undergoes as they enter their mid-thirties.

Sleeveless - Fashion, Image, Media, New York 2011-2019

de Natasha Stagg

45,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Essays and stories on fashion, art, and culture in the New York of the 2010s.We were supposed to meet Rose McGowan at Café d''Alsace after the party, but she cancelled at the last minute. I saw on Twitter that she had been hit with a drug possession charge, which she insisted was a scheme to keep her Weinstein dirt quiet. I hadn''t even read her Weinstein story… I still wanted to know that the articles were being published, and in large quantities, but reading stories of abuse and humiliation was as stupefying as a hangover. I didn''t feel empowered; I only felt more hopeless. I wanted to watch the patriarchy go up in flames, but I wasn''t excited about what was being pitched to replace it. If we got all of it out in the open, what would we have left? My fear was that guilt would destroy the classics and there''d be no one left to fuck. All movies would be as low-budget and as puritanical as the stuff they play on Lifetime, all of New York would look like a Target ad, every book or article would be a cathartic tell-all, and I''d be sexually frustrated but too ashamed to hook up with assholes, or even to watch porn. —from SleevelessEve Babitz meets Roland Barthes in Sleeveless, Natasha Stagg''s follow up to Surveys, her 2016 novel about internet fame. Composed of essays and stories commissioned by fashion, art, and culture magazines, Sleeveless is a scathing and sensitive report from New York in the 2010s. During those years, Stagg worked as an editor for V magazine and as a consultant, creating copy for fashion brands. Through these jobs, she met and interviewed countless industry luminaries, celebrities, and artists, and learned about the quickly evolving strategies of branding. In Sleeveless, she exposes the mechanics of personal identity and its monetization that propelled the narrator of Surveys from a mall job in Tucson to international travel and internet fame.

Last Days At Hot Slit - The Radical Feminism Of Andrea Dworkin

de Andrea Dworkin

50,35€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Selections from the work of radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin, famous for her antipornography stance and role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s.Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a polarizing figure within the women''s movement, infamous for her antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s. She still looms large in feminist demands for sexual freedom, evoked as a censorial demagogue, more than a decade after her death. Among the very first writers to use her own experiences of rape and battery in a revolutionary analysis of male supremacy, Dworkin was a philosopher outside and against the academy who wrote with a singular, apocalyptic urgency. Last Days at Hot Slit brings together selections from Dworkin''s work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she''s best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. The collection charts her path from the militant primer Woman Hating (1974), to the formally complex polemics of Pornography (1979) and Intercourse (1987) and the raw experimentalism of her final novel Mercy (1990). It also includes "Goodbye to All This" (1983), a scathing chapter from an unpublished manuscript that calls out her feminist adversaries, and "My Suicide" (1999), a despairing long-form essay found on her hard drive after her death in 2005.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 On the ongoing project of writing about grief; Zambreno''s addendum to Book of Mutter."I came up with the idea of writing these notes, or talks, out of a primary desire to not read from Book of Mutter, and instead to keep gesturing to its incompleteness and ongoingness, which connects, for me, to the fragmentary project of literature, and what I long for in writing." —from Appendix ProjectInspired by the lectures of Roland Barthes, Anne Carson, and Jorge Luis Borges, Kate Zambreno''s Appendix Project collects eleven talks and essays written in the course of the year following the publication of Book of Mutter, Zambreno''s book on her mother that took her over a decade to write. These surprising and moving performances, underscored by the sleeplessness of the first year of her child''s life, contain Zambreno''s most original and dazzling thinking and writing to date. In Appendix Project Zambreno thinks through the work of On Kawara, Roland Barthes, W.G. Sebald, Bhanu Kapil, Walter Benjamin, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Marguerite Duras, Marlene Dumas, Louise Bourgeois, Doris Salcedo, Jenny Holzer, and more.

Now The Night Begins

de Alain Guiraudie

66,25€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A novel that is a meditation on friendship, love, obsession, power, and abuse, by turns hyperrealist and phantasmagoric, recalling the work of Sade and Bataille.And he leaves. I''m not happy, I''m pretty upset at myself, I wasn''t satisfied with him but I wouldn''t have been any better without him. I sit on the couch and think. I''m not actually thinking, it''s already been thought, I have to call Grampa... I need to hear his voice. I miss him. —from Now the Night BeginsAt the tail end of summer vacation, Gilles Heurtebise drifts between lazy afternoons, swimming, cruising the shores of a nearby lake, and absentmindedly hooking up with old lovers. He has yet to achieve material or romantic stability. He is forty, facing a precarious future with unformed fears and regrets. The one thing that seems solid is Grampa, the ninety-year-old patriarch of a family Gilles has befriended. Gilles grows obsessed by the old man, and a strange sexual bond grows between the two. When the police get involved, and Gilles is witness to a murder, the banality of interhuman violence is brought to a paroxysmal climax.The winner of France''s prestigious Prix Sade, Now the Night Begins is a meditation on friendship, love, power, and abuse in a world where social relations have radically disintegrated. Interwoven with swaths of Occitan, the language of troubadours and love, and by turns hyperrealist and phantasmagoric, the novel recalls Georges Bataille''s dark surrealism and the unvarnished violence of Bret Easton Ellis. It proves Alain Guiraudie''s status as the preeminent writer of the vulnerability underlying our contemporary malaise."The genial perversity of Alain Guiraudie''s Now the Night Begins is something rare and fascinatingly energized, a metaphysical and moral slapstick that points to the arbitrariness of all authority and the fluidity of all desires. In its way, the most elegant, certainly the most hilarious brief for anarchy that anyone has written in a long time." —Gary Indiana"Raw, sexual, and scatological, Alain Guiraudie''s novel evokes Sade and Bataille." —Elisabeth Philippe

Fascination - Memoirs

de Kevin Killian

45,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A memoir of gay life in 1970s Long Island by one of the leading proponents of the New Narrative movement.Fascination brings together an early memoir, Bedrooms Have Windows (1989) and a previously unpublished prose work, Bachelors Get Lonely, by the poet and novelist Kevin Killian, one of the founding members of the New Narrative movement. The two together depict the author''s early years struggling to become a writer in the sexed-up, boozy, drug-ridden world of Long Island''s North Shore in the 1970s. It concludes with Triangles in the Sand, a new, previously unpublished memoir of Killian''s brief affair in the 1970s with the composer Arthur Russell. Fascination offers a moving and often funny view of the loneliness and desire that defined gay life of that era—a time in which Richard Nixon''s resignation intersected with David Bowie''s Diamond Dogs—from one of the leading voices in experimental gay writing of the past thirty years. "Move along the velvet rope," Killian writes in Bedrooms Have Windows, "run your shaky fingers past the lacquered Keith Haring graffito: ''You did not live in our time! Be Sorry!''"

Seasonal Associate

de Heike Geissler

45,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 How the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt: a writer''s account of her experience working in an Amazon fulfillment center.No longer able to live on the proceeds of her freelance writing and translating income, German novelist Heike Geissler takes a seasonal job at Amazon Order Fulfillment in Leipzig. But the job, intended as a stopgap measure, quickly becomes a descent into humiliation, and Geissler soon begins to internalize the dynamics and nature of the post-capitalist labor market and precarious work. Driven to work at Amazon by financial necessity rather than journalistic ambition, Heike Geissler has nonetheless written the first and only literary account of corporate flex-time employment that offers "freedom" to workers who have become an expendable resource. Shifting between the first and the second person, Seasonal Associate is a nuanced expose of the psychic damage that is an essential working condition with mega-corporations. Geissler has written a twenty-first-century account of how the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt.
