Among his effects: a bloodstained business card bearing the name of a master wizard and a curious pocket watch that doesn't seem to tell time.

Glaude, who is distinguished professor and chair of the African American studies department at Princeton University (where he has been teaching a seminar on Baldwin for several years), is also a native of Jackson County, Mississippi, the US state that suffered the highest number of lynchings – 581 between 18. For many, Baldwin’s writing has long been a touchstone of anti-racist humanism, but the sense of that particular epithet has never landed more emphatically for me than while reading Eddie S Glaude Jr’s Begin Again, his potent meditation on the enduring legacy of Baldwin’s life and thought, a New York Times bestseller and one of a number of titles that have spoken to the soul of public outrage at George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis last May. ![]() M ichael Ondaatje once wrote that if Van Gogh was “our 19th-century artist-saint” then James Baldwin was “our 20th-century one”. ![]() ![]() ![]() If she's not careful, this investigation might blow her cover and get her killed. To top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions. Thrust into the middle of a bayou murder mystery, Fortune teams up with a couple of seemingly sweet old ladies whose looks completely belie their hold on the little town. Unfortunately, she hasn't even unpacked a suitcase before her newly inherited dog digs up a human bone in her backyard. Posing as a former beauty queen turned librarian in a small bayou town seems worse than death to Fortune, but she's determined to fly below the radar until her boss finds the leak and puts the arms dealer out of play. With a leak at the CIA and a price placed on her head by one of the world's largest arms dealers, Fortune has to go off-grid, but she never expected to be this far out of her element. ![]() ![]() CIA assassin Fortune Redding is about to undertake her most difficult mission ever - in Sinful, Louisiana. ![]() ![]() ![]() But the product of these factories is not death but, as Arendt puts it, a mode of life ʻoutside of life and deathʼ. One speaks of the Shoah as industrialized mass death, and of the camps as ʻfactories of deathʼ. This is the Muselmann as described by Primo Levi in If This is a Man. The bare life that is produced by this abandonment by the state is not biological life ʻnot simple natural life, but life exposed to death (bare life or sacred life) is the originary political elementʼ. The Lager is a threshold in which human beings are reduced to bare life and the torture this life suffers is nothing else but its exclusion from the polis as a distinctively human life. More specifically, the Nazi death camps are not a political aberration, least of all a unique event, but instead the place where politics as the sovereign decision on life most clearly reveals itself: ʻtoday it is not the city but rather the camp that is the fundamental biopolitical paradigm of the West.ʼ The exemplary exception Philosophical and political decisions in Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer Andrew norris ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

It combines some of his most popular stories including 'The Fall of the House of Usher' and 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' with lesser-known gems. ![]() 'The Tell-Tale Heart' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher' are key works in the horror canon, while in the 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' we find the origins of modern detective fiction. This gorgeous anthology features 29 of Edgar Allan Poe's tales of the fantastic and the macabre. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. ![]() ![]() She's weak and spineless and her motivation is unclear. Everyone is a cardboard cutout, Cassie herself most of all. There isn't a single likeable character in this book, except perhaps poor Sarah, the plot device who leads to Cassie's eventual redemption. An absentee father, a depressed alcoholic mother, a shy, ugly teenager who somehow gets reborn into a beautiful swan (although we never do learn how Cassie got that new face and body everyone keeps talking about) and sets off on a path of destruction to make herself forget about her past and to become 'cool'. I mean, I thought people were done writing things like this. ![]() ![]() What? Are you guys kidding me? Was I reading a different book from everyone else?

You’d be hard-pressed to find a person not thoroughly familiar with the story of Anne Frank, the precocious Jewish teenager forced into hiding with her family and four friends following the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam in the midst of World War II. ![]() |
