Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

A very readable history of the fortuitous but world changing "encounter" of two complex figures (Lucretius & Poggio) at an important turning point in European history.

Letters of Samuel Beckett Volume 2 1941 1956
by
Samuel Beckett
Patrick Russell
, January 19, 2012
This is an excellent collection of letters that covers one of the most creative and then successful periods in Beckett's career. A real behind the scenes look. In addition, the editorial apparatus is superb and clearly shows the decades of work that have gone into Beckett's letters.

Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire
by
Michael Hardt
Patrick Russell
, January 01, 2010
MULTITUDE, the excellent second book in Hardt & Negri's trilogy (the first being EMPIRE, the second, the recently released COMMONWEALTH) on the contemporary political situation--and what is to be done about it. Proposes swarm theory as the model for new, democratic, horizontal, political organizations. Also introduces the important concepts of the common and immaterial labor, the latter being the immanent "bond" that unites people across social difference without sublimating those differences. Immaterial labor describes what is for Hardt & Negri the new hegemonic form of labor that has come to replace industrial labor, this new form being affective, bio-social, & interpersonal.
