––THE NEW YORKER
Like archaeological ruins, [Tinti’s poems] stand complete, even as they sketch a past completeness that is, now, a far country.

Resistance to Christianity
RAOUL VANEIGEM
Nothing less than a complete historical account of the development of Christianity.
Formidably erudite without ever drifting into dry scholasticism, Resistance to Christianity ranges from the origins of the Bible to the fraught doctrinal controversies of the fourth century to the Levellers and Jansenists of the early modern period, thereby revealing the too-little-known history that lies behind the modern world’s theological horizons.

Luminous Lives
THOMAS SCHLESSER
Long neglected by art historians, Anna-Eva Bergman was a painter of major importance who invested her work with an almost mystical ambition. The story of her life, told for the first time in this meticulously researched biography, is extraordinary, long last enabling us to understand the creator of these magnificent works in all the complexity of her character and the dramatic circumstances of her life.

No Politics But Class Politics
WALTER BENN MICHAELS & ADOLPH REED JR.
An exhilarating journey that swaps the orthodoxies of contemporary progressive culture for a class politics rooted in universalism.—James Bloodworth
No Politics but Class Politics gathers together Reed and Michaels’s recent essays on inequality, along with a newly commissioned interview with the authors and an illuminating foreword by Daniel Zamora and Anton Jäger. Reed and Michaels make the case here for a genuinely radical politics: a politics which aspires not to the establishment of a demographically representative social elite, but instead to economic justice for everyone.
I Declare a Permanent State of Happiness
KENNETH GOLDSMITH
Written as a series of numbered propositions, Wittgenstein’s treatise is an ambitious attempt to elucidate the relationship of language to logic and to reality. Goldsmith’s response to the text is a testament to the highly distinctive artistic vision that characterizes all of his work. Inspired by the Tractatus but also boldly inventive, Goldsmith’s images reveal the breadth and depth not just of Wittgenstein’s genius, but also of the intervening artist’s creative fervor.
KENNETH GOLDSMITH
My entire poetic production is founded upon Wittgenstein’s later writings. Although it has sat on my shelf for decades, I never actually read the Tractatus. But I always loved the idea of it; I am a conceptual writer, after all.
