Pasts, Futures, and Aftermaths: Revisiting the Black Dada Reader
Adam Pendleton
(DABA/Koening Books)
$45.00
In collages, paintings, and installations dense with text and layered with political, cultural, and art historical references, Adam Pendleton continues to question the nature of conceptual, abstract, and activist art. Three new publications highlight his diverse, experimental, and often radical body of work, as well as the canon (or anti-canon) of theorists and thinkers grounding his practice.

Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan
(Knopf)
$60.00
Brutal and grotesque, Francis Bacon's paintings distort the human anatomy (faces, mouths, full bodies, popes) with a thoroughness and intent that can be frightening to confront. He remains one of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries--look no further than David Lynch and Jenny Seville--and scholars continue to find new angles on the terrifying lifeforce that electrifies his canvases.

Working across media, from sculpture and video to large-scale public works, Ai Weiwei continues to provoke and agitate on the political and personal levels and, of course, in the vast expanse where the two blur. This collection brings together his highly anticipated memoir, the poetry of his exiled father, his own works of art, and a study of contemporary experimental Chinese art practices.

Rachel Cusk plumbs motherhood, solitude, and creativity throughout her extraordinary set of novels and critical essays. In writing that is as rigorous and wry as it is subversive, she artfully details the dramas of interpersonal collapse, political uncertainty, and inner turmoil.

One of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century, Octavia Butler continues to influence generations of authors, artists, and activists. In her visionary speculative fiction, she undermines and overturns just about every system propping up contemporary US life--from gender and ethnicity to the free market and the nation-state--crafting prescient and haunting tales of survival, care, and creation.

How do we make sense of the losses that compound in our lives? How will we ever learn to face the loneliness, disorientation, and anger that so often accompany the greatest of these losses? Writing their way through tragedies of all magnitudes, these authors find meaning in Milton and mathematics, in cataloging death rituals and plainly confronting the nature of grief itself, and in offering guidance for the rest of us.

Cathy Curtis
(W.W. Norton)
$35.00
As a critic, essayist, novelist, and co-founder of the New York Review of Books, Elizabeth Hardwick has had a profound influence on the course of twentieth- and twenty-first century writing. The first critical biography of the writer is accompanied here by her slippery fiction and incisive criticism, by the intimate, astute letters exchanged with poet-husband-ex Robert Lowell (and others in their circle), and by the poems Lowell chiselled, without her permission, from those letters.

Roberto Calasso, a publisher, book collector, and renowned polyglot, wrote extensively across eras and cultures. Through engaging with Kafka, the Greeks, Baudelaire, and the Mahabharata, he probed readers with questions of meaning-making, the nature of the unknown, and the arc of modernity. And on the side, he ran Adelphi Edizioni, one of Italy's most prestigious publishing houses.
