New in November: Edward Hopper, The New Black, and The Delicacy and Strength of Lace
Edward Hopper by Ernest Farrés, Translated from the Catalan by Lawrence Venuti
“The great American painter of solitude comes back to us
brilliantly illuminated and transformed by the contemporary Catalan poet Ernest
Farrés, who is cannily—cunningly!—translated by Lawrence Venuti into a
sparkling English vernacular. This is a book of unexpected splendors.”
The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia, and Depression by Darian Leader
"Leader
manages to bring not just a fresh look at Freud and grieving but adds rich
context from his own case studies and the culture around us, from
John Cleese’s hilarious eulogy for his Monty Python colleague Graham Chapman to
Brokeback Mountain. It’s an astounding analysis of a pressing
mental health issue that melds old and new.”
The Delicacy and Strength of Lace, Letters Between Leslie Marmon Silko and James Wright, Edited by Anne Wright
“This correspondence between Leslie Marmon Silko and James Wright in the
late seventies remains a classic in epistolary literature. Like finely crafted
lace kept as a story of beauty and struggle and passed between generations,
these letters possess a liquid and elegant power.”
