A little girl who disguises herself as an old man, an addict who collects dollhouse furniture, a crime reporter confronted by a talking dog, a painter trying to prove the non-existence of God, and lovers in a penal colony who communicate through technical drawings these are just a few of the characters who live among the ruins. RUIN is both bracingly timely and eerily timeless in its examination of an American state in free-fall, unsparing in its disregard for broken institutions, while shining with compassion for all who are left their wake.A little girl who disguises herself as an old man, an addict who collects dollhouse furniture, a crime reporter confronted by a talking dog, a painter trying to prove the non-existence of God, and lovers in a penal colony who communicate through technical drawings these are just a few of the characters who live among the ruins.

A compelling personal introduction to the life and work of Nobel Prize–winning writer Czeslaw Milosz from his fellow Polish exile and acclaimed writer Eva HoffmanCzeslaw Milosz (1911–2004) was a giant of twentieth-century literature, not least because he lived through and wrote about many of the most extreme events of that extreme century, from the world wars and the Holocaust to the Cold War. Over a seven-decade career, he produced an important body of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, including classics such as The Captive Mind, a reflection on the hypnotic power of ideology, and Native Realm, a memoir. In this book, Eva Hoffman, like Milosz a Polish-born writer who immigrated to the West, presents an eloquent personal portrait of the life and work of her illustrious fellow exile. Milosz experienced the horrors of World War II in Warsaw—the very epicenter of the inferno—and witnessed the unfolding of the Holocaust from up close. After the war, he lived as a permanent exile—from Poland, communism, and mainstream American culture. Hoffman explores how exile, historical disasters, and Milosz’s origins in Eastern Europe shaped his vision, and she occasionally compares her own postwar trajectory with Milosz’s to show how the question of “the Other Europe” ...

In the summer of 1964, Mississippi became a flashpoint for the civil rights movement during Freedom Summer—a season marked by courage, terror, and relentless struggle. Chicago Daily News reporter Nicholas von Hoffman journeyed deep into the heart of the state to capture the unvarnished reality of life in Mississippi during this pivotal moment. Over ten tense weeks and 6,000 miles, von Hoffman bore witness to the Delta’s heat, the piney hills’ quiet, and the Gulf’s restlessness, documenting the complex and volatile relationships between white and Black Mississippians. His reporting reveals a state caught between its violent past and a potential for change, illuminating the ordinary lives and extraordinary bravery of those who stood on the front lines of justice. Now, over sixty years later, Mississippi Notebook endures as a vital document of a transformative period in American history. This edition features a new introduction by civil rights scholar Charles W. McKinney Jr., who contextualizes von Hoffman’s sharp and poignant observations as a powerful counter to oversimplified narratives about Freedom Summer. Mississippi Notebook reminds us of the enduring importance of movements powered by collective courage and the necessity of confronting the forces of fear and bigotry to achieve lasting change.

A brilliant new translation of a classic work on violence and revolution as seen through mythology and artThe Ruin of Kasch takes up two subjects—“the first is Talleyrand, and the second is everything else,” wrote Italo Calvino when the book first appeared in 1983. Hailed as one of those rare books that persuade us to see our entire civilization in a new light, its guide is the French statesman Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, who knew the secrets of the ancien régime and all that came after, and was able to adapt the notion of “legitimacy” to the modern age. Roberto Calasso follows him through a vast gallery of scenes set immediately before and after the French Revolution, making occasional forays backward and forward in time, from Vedic India to the porticoes of the Palais-Royal and to the killing fields of Pol Pot, with appearances by Goethe and Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Marx, Walter Benjamin and Chateaubriand. At the center stands the story of the ruin of Kasch, a legendary kingdom based on the ritual killing of the king and emblematic of the ruin of ancient and modern regimes.
