Dans Les Moissons funèbres, livre devenu instantanément un classique de la littérature américaine, Jesmyn Ward raconte les difficultés rencontrées par la population rurale du Sud des États-Unis à laquelle elle appartient et porte tant d'affection. En l'espace de quatre ans, cinq jeunes hommes noirs avec lesquels Jesmyn Ward a grandi sont morts dans des circonstances violentes.

Few figures in modern occult history provoke stronger reactions than Aleister Crowley. To some he was a controversial mystic; to others a visionary philosopher whose ideas live on for occultists. Rarely, however, does anyone remain neutral about his influence on the literature and practice of Western esotericism. Best known as the founder of Thelema, Crowley was also a prolific writer, ceremonial magician, poet, and accomplished mountaineer. His work helped shape modern occult traditions and continues to influence contemporary magickal practices, including developments within Chaos Magick.

Everyone who writes about Henry Miller begins by taking a side. Either he was a liberator who tore the last Victorian veil off human life, or he was a vulgar egotist who mistook his own appetites for wisdom. This book refuses both chairs at that tired table. It proposes something stranger and more useful: that Miller was never really a writer at all, and that the question of whether to admire him has been distracting us for eighty years from the one thing he was genuinely good for.

2023 wird Evan Gershkovich, Reporter des Wall Street Journal, in Russland wegen angeblicher Spionage festgenommen und später zu sechzehn Jahren Haft verurteilt. International löst sein Fall Entsetzen aus – erstmals seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wurde ein amerikanischer Journalist wegen Spionage verurteilt. Gershkovich war zur Schachfigur in einem geopolitischen Machtspiel geworden. Seine Freilassung gelang erst durch einen spektakulären Gefangenenaustausch, in dem auch der »Tiergarten-Mörder« Vadim Krassikow eine Rolle spielte.

Je m'appelle Arthur Essebag. Depuis toujours, je vous divertis à la télévision. Je ne vous ai jamais parlé d'autre chose, car j'ai toujours considéré que ce n'était pas mon rôle. Jusqu'à ce matin où l'impensable a surgi. Des milliers de terroristes. Des villages anéantis. En quelques heures : 1 200 vies sauvagement brisées. D'autres traînées dans des tunnels, en otages. C'était le 7 octobre 2023. Le plus grand massacre de Juifs depuis la Shoah. Ce fut une bascule, une descente aux enfers où j'ai entraîné ma famille, mes proches, dans une apnée interminable. Et j'ai écrit.
