through shared stories and everyday habits, we merge and become each other over time. If you asked me to give you a gift through which you could discover yourself in others, I would offer you this book.” Julietta Singh

“In her brilliant revision of the queer archive, Lana Lin not only brings the understory of the Asian diaspora to the surface but into luminous frame. The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam is a testament to our different histories and to how . . .

“Like all great novels, THE ENDLESS WEEK is about life, time, and death . . . and like all great poets, Laura Vazquez has us encounter violence and beauty through sublime rhythms and poignant variations." Le Monde

“Are the kids ok? Are the elders? Are the gods? Are the dead? In this mesmeric novel, loneliness and the (online) community, language and image...violence and care construct a tender, precarious microzone called intimacy. A lumbar puncture of a book, a golden strain.” Joyelle McSweeney

Five Manifestos for the Beautiful World The second annual Alchemy Lecture brought together five artists, thinkers, and writers who proposed new ways of being and discussed radical visions for the future. Five Manifestos for the Beautiful World captures and expands these lectures to illuminate our path toward this possible beautiful world. Joseph M. Pierce (Cherokee Nation) asserts that "for this decolonial future to become possible, the guiding force must no longer be capital but relations." Film curator Jana na Oliveira (Brazil) evokes music and movement as a means toward this relationality. Visual artist Phoebe Boswell (UK/Kenya) asks, "If we burn down the institution, what happens next?" Saidiya Hartman (US) prompts us to consider our capacity to burn, examining whether "the gift of pragmatism yields a profound tolerance of the unlivable." Cristina Rivera Garza (US/Mexico) gives us the language of the future in the subjunctive, "the smuggler who crosses the border of the future bearing unknown cargo." Each alchemist is intimately concerned with this cargo, our ability to bear its weight, and how we might find the beautiful world together.

OK. Before I go on vacation for the week I need #BookSky to know about this book. Sadiya Hartman! Cristina Rivera Garza! Introduced by @hystericalblkns.bsky.social are you kidding me?!

Three books on a table: Paradoxx by Kate Colby (forthcoming in September from Essay Press), 'A Social Process of Unknowing Yourself in Real Time': Work on Conversation edited by Kate Briggs and Laura Haynes (recently out from The Yellow Paper Press), and Lily Is Crying by Hélène Bessette, translated by Kate Briggs (out this week from New Directions).
