Was ist ein Mensch wert? Wie ermessen sich Nutzen und Kosten einer Person? Heike Geißler denkt über den Sinn der Arbeit nach, über materielle und unsichtbare Arbeit, über Geben und Nehmen, Gewinner und Verlierer. Der Arbeit auf der Spur, beobachtet sie ihr Umfeld und kommt mit den unterschiedlichsten Menschen ins Gespräch: mit dem Immobilienhai im Haus gegenüber, mit der Obdachlosen an der Bushaltestelle, mit der eigenen Schwiegermutter, die zur Pflegerin ihres Mannes wird.

Doris Dörrie ist eine Wohnende wider Willen. Nie wollte sie sich niederlassen, fest einrichten, Wurzeln schlagen, aber wie andere wohnen, hat sie immer schon fasziniert. In Kalifornien geht sie zu Hausbesichtigungen, nur um sich andere Leben in anderen Räumen auszumalen. Auf ihren unzähligen Reisen nach Japan, Mexiko, Marokko, Amerika und Südeuropa sieht sie, wie eng das Wohnen an die jeweilige Kultur geknüpft ist. Und bei ihrer Arbeit als Filmemacherin wird sie zur Expertin für das Erschaffen künstlicher Wohnwelten.

Das Lob der Torheit ist in Form einer Rede der personifizierten Torheit geschrieben, die ihre eigene Bedeutung und die Vorteile ihrer Existenz preist. Die Torheit spricht direkt zu den Lesern und argumentiert, dass sie in allen Bereichen des menschlichen Lebens präsent und notwendig ist. Sie lobt die Torheit in verschiedenen sozialen, politischen und religiösen Kontexten und kritisiert dabei indirekt die Missstände und Heuchelei der Gesellschaft.

Flower is a book of realistic admissions, likes, dislikes, memories and no-brainer observations, treating personal truth as unavailable – something that must be made up and convincing. Taking cues from confessional literature, his daughter’s improvised games, poor internet writing and shitty AI, Ed Atkins, in his first work of non-fiction, equivocates between inanity and divinity, ease and pain, sentimentality and sterility.

Offering answers to those questions and more through a mix of travelogue and social history, A Month of Sundays entertainingly charts the story of what author Daniel Gray argues is the People's Day. Told through Sundays whiled away in places from the Hebrides to Hyde Park – via Sunderland, Scarborough, Liverpool and beyond – Gray's latest book is a charming journey in time and place. A Month of Sundays offers nostalgia, people's history and affectionate, absorbing writing – a book drenched in the scent of gravy and summoning the faint sound of church bells.

Since her canonical 2017 essay “On Liking Women,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Andrea Long Chu has established herself as a public intellectual straight out of the 1960s. With devastating wit and polemical clarity, she defies the imperative to leave politics out of art, instead modeling how the left might brave the culture wars without throwing in with the cynics and doomsayers. Authority brings together Chu’s critical work across a wide range of media—novels, television, theater, video games—as well as an acclaimed tetralogy of literary essays first published in n+1.

Black literature is perhaps the most powerful, polarizing force in the modern American zeitgeist. Today—as Black novels draw authoritarian ire, as Black memoirs shape public debates, as Black polemics inspire protest petitions—it’s more important than ever to highlight the places that center these stories: Black bookstores. Traversing teeming metropolises and tiny towns, Prose to the People explores a these spaces, chronicling these Black bookstore's past and present lives.

Spring arrives with a rush of words, and Ralph Waldo Emerson stands at the threshold, pen in hand. May-Day and Other Pieces is not just a collection of poems—it is an invitation to witness the shifting tides of nature, thought, and destiny through the eyes of one of America's sharpest philosophical minds. From the awakening landscapes of May-Day to the untamed wilderness of The Adirondacs, Emerson moves effortlessly between the grandeur of the world and the depths of the soul.

A world in perfect balance—so claims Emerson in Compensation, an essay that pulses with quiet defiance and deep assurance. No gain without loss, no misstep without lesson, no fortune without its hidden tax. It is neither fate nor blind justice but a living rhythm, an invisible hand that rights every scale, even when human eyes fail to see. Emerson does not preach; he unfolds. The idea seeps in, settles, challenges. His words are not doctrine but a lens—through which prosperity and misfortune reveal themselves as two faces of the same coin.

En Ramón López Velarde. La lumbre inmóvil —selección y epílogo de Marco Antonio Campos−, José Emilio Pacheco realiza una lectura de la obra del autor de La suave Patria, una disección única de su quehacer poético. Con apenas treinta y tres años, Ramón López Velarde (1888-1921) murió de neumonía luego de una caminata nocturna por las calles de la Ciudad de México. Con él se cierra una etapa de la poesía mexicana que encuentra su esplendor en los cruentos años revolucionarios. No es posible saber si en el futuro se le seguirá leyendo.
