Have you heard about the Teamsters strike against Amazon? The media is doing a great job of burying the story, but Teamsters Amazon workers all over the country are on strike as they fight for a fair contract from the biggest e-commerce company jn the world.

Delivery workers are a major backbone of the book industry. Furthermore, as we’ve seen over the past few years, they’re a backbone of the economy as a whole. It’s crucial that we support their fight for a fair contract. This holiday season, stand with us in solidarity with the Teamsters and 🛑 don’t shop on Amazon 🛑

We’re delighted that WOMAN, LIFE, FREEDOM was chosen for ’s 2024 Books We Love list!

In this powerful visual collection of graphic novel style essays, Marjane Satrapi has gathered together intense narration by herself and an array of journalists and writers with graphic art perspectives from esteemed collaborators including Coco, a press cartoonist at Charlie Hebdo; Patricia Bolaños, a Spanish illustrator based in Brooklyn; Mana Neyestani, an Iranian cartoonist and illustrator; and Paco Roca, a Spanish comic book artist, Shabnam Adiban, an Iranian illustrator based in Toronto, among others.

Together, these are the artists and story-tellers Marjane Satrapi has chosen to tell the story of a major revolution happening in her homeland of Iran today that has inspired support from around the world.

Happy pub day to Ryan Ruby’s poetic history of poetry CONTEXT COLLAPSE!

Epic in sweep, Context Collapse is the secret history of the poet—from Bronze Age Greece and Renaissance Italy to the cafés of Grub Street and the Latin Quarter, from the creative writing departments of the American Midwest to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley.

Cheekily introducing academic discourse, media studies, cybersemiotics, literary sociology, and heterodox economics into his blank verse study of poetry, Ruby traces the always delicate dance between poets, their publishers, and their audiences, and shows how, time and time again, the social, technological, and aesthetic experiments that appear in poetic language have prefigured radical changes to the ways of life of millions of people.

14/11/2024

Out now, Tova Reich’s new novel is a raucous and biting tale of a reeducation camp for wealthy s*x pests, helmed by a wealthy benefactor named Jeffrey Epstein (not that one), who just wants to clear his name.

Written in Reich’s signature satirical mode, Camp Jeff revels in its brazen indictment of contemporary masculinity, elite arrogance, and therapy culture. Her whip-smart dialogue and unsparing pen reveal rather than merely mock: here is a deeply considered work of psychological portraiture and a profound examination of contemporary American culture.
