A remarkable insight into the birth of a writer and the moving discovery of family secrets. When Hanif Kureishi discovers an abandoned manuscript of his father's, his understanding of the family history is transformed. So begins a journey which takes Kureishi through his father's privileged childhood by the sea in Bombay, to the trauma of partition and to his adult life hidden away in the suburbs of Bromley - his days spent as a minor functionary in the Pakistan embassy in London, his nights writing prose, hopeful of one day receiving literary recognition.

L'histoire de l'humanité, jusqu'à très récemment, a été une vaste entreprise d'archivage - une lutte contre la faillibilité de la mémoire humaine et les mâchoires oblitératrices de l'Histoire. Or, depuis quelques décennies, nous nous sommes dotés de technologies nous permettant de ne plus jamais oublier, voire de ne plus pouvoir oublier. Pourtant, notre mémoire collective semble de plus en plus dispersée, de moins en moins enracinée. Et si nous avions perdu quelque chose en route ?

Sayed Kashua has been praised by The New York Times as "a master of subtle nuance in dealing with both Arab and Jewish society". An Arab-Israeli who lived in Jerusalem for most of his life, Kashua started writing with the hope of creating one story that both Palestinians and Israelis could relate to, rather than two that cannot coexist together. He devoted his novels and his satirical weekly column published in Haaretz to telling the Palestinian story.

Author and essayist Kiese Laymon is one of the most unique, stirring, and powerful new voices in American social and cultural commentary. How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America is a collection of Laymon's essays, touching on subjects ranging from family, race, violence, and celebrity to music, writing, and coming of age in the rural Mississippi Gulf Coast. Laymon's writing is unflinchingly honest, while also being smart, lacerating, and unexpectedly funny.

An irresistible collection of favorite writings from an author celebrated for his bravura style and sheer unpredictability. Francis Spufford’s welcome first volume of collected essays gathers an array of his compelling writings from the 1990s to the present. He makes use of a variety of encounters with particular places, writers, or books to address deeper questions relating to the complicated relationship between storytelling and truth-telling.

It is where Fidel Castro raised money to overthrow Batista and where two generations of Castro's enemies have raised armies to overthrow him, so far without success. It is where the bitter opera of Cuban exile intersects with the cynicism of U.S. foreign policy. It is a city whose skyrocketing murder rate is fueled by the cocaine trade, racial discontent, and an undeclared war on the island 90 miles to the south.

Deported to a concentration camp from 1941 until the end of the war, Norman Manea again left his native Romania in 1986 to escape the Ceausescu regime. He now lives in New York. In this selection of essays, he explores the language and psyche of the exiled writer. Among pieces on the cultural-political landscape of Eastern Europe and on the North America of today, there are astute critiques of fellow Romanian and American writers. Manea answers essential questions on censorship and on linguistic roots.

Including pieces from The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, this collection is Bowden at his best. The titular article, "The Three Battles of Wanat", tells the story of one of the bloodiest days in the war in Afghanistan and the extraordinary years-long fallout it generated within the United States military. In "The Killing Machines", Bowden examines the strategic, legal, and moral issues surrounding armed drones.

In a book that begins with a series of lynchings and ends with a series of apologies, Eula Biss explores race in America. Her response to the topic is informed by the experiences chronicled in these essays - teaching in a Harlem school on the morning of 9/11, reporting for an African American newspaper in San Diego, watching the aftermath of Katrina from a college town in Iowa, and settling in Chicago’s most diverse neighborhood.

Briallen Hopper's Hard to Love honours the categories of loves and relationships beyond marriage, the ones that are often treated as invisible or seen as secondary - friendships, kinship with adult siblings, care teams that form in times of illness, or various alternative family formations. She also values difficult and amorphous loves like loving a challenging job or inanimate objects that can't love you back.

La vita umana, insegna l’induismo, si divide in quattro periodi: il primo serve per imparare, guidati da un maestro; il secondo per realizzare sé stessi...

Alice Degl'Innocenti, l'insegnante di yoga e mental coach nota sui social come @alix_loto, ci conduce allora in un percorso di scoperta della nostra natura più profonda.

現代社会でかき消されがちな小さな声に耳を澄ませる――なにかを美しいと感じると呼吸が深くなる――

No hay un tiempo ajeno por completo al conflicto, en que la guerra no forme parte de la cultura: la arrastramos en nuestro pasado y su sombra se proyecta en el futuro como amenaza. Pero ¿qué es la guerra para quienes no la han vivido en carne propia? ¿Y de dónde sale el caudal de imágenes y relatos que nutren y configuran nuestro conocimiento del fenómeno? ¿Acaso son imparciales, no obedecen a ciertos códigos y propósitos?

Il sangue matto è la paura di impazzire, di sragionare all’improvviso in casa, al lavoro, per strada, nel bel mezzo di certe giornate nere che si fatica persino a raccontare a se stesse. È il corpo che si macchia di rosso, è la difficoltà a vivere normalmente almeno sette giorni al mese. È il lutto, il fallimento e il disgusto per non riuscire ad essere madri come la natura femminile vorrebbe. Eppure le donne non si arrendono, e provano a raccontarlo e a raccontarsi, cercano con ostinazione il mesSaggio nascosto dentro la sofferenza.

L'amore impossibile tra Rima e Nael, lei cristiana e lui musulmano, nella Damasco divisa dalla guerra. La rabbia di Razia, medico in un ospedale nel Sud del Pakistan, che opera pazienti sfregiate dagli uomini. L'arresto di Eman, che nel suo blog ha difeso per anni i diritti delle donne saudite, messa a tacere proprio quando la monarchia concede loro di guidare l'auto. Il gesto indimenticabile di Vida, la ragazza che in via Enghelab, via della Rivoluzione, a Teheran, si toglie il velo bianco e lo sventola come una bandiera: non per la resa, ma per la guerra.

Oltre cinquanta autori italiani e stranieri – tra scrittori, artisti, editori, giornalisti, librai e blogger – accomunati dalla passione per i viaggi sulle tombe di poeti e romanzieri. Tombe sfarzose, come quella di Oscar Wilde, o semplici lapidi in un prato, come quelle di Jack Kerouac e James Joyce, tombe ospitate in cimiteri celebri – il Père-Lachaise di Parigi o l’acattolico di Roma – oppure nascoste in mezzo a monti desertici, coperte dal segreto di un monastero, come quella di Javsandamba Zanabazar, artista e poeta mongolo, in patria venerato come un santo.
