In April 1915, confined to a Berlin women’s prison for her anti-war activities, the socialist firebrand Rosa Luxemburg wrote to a friend and lover that she’d entered one of the flowers he’d sent her into her herbarium. “That was a greater snowdrop — Leucojum vernum,” she informed him; it was distinguishable from the lesser snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis, by the shape and number of leaves. No mere hobby spawned of boredom, botany was an enduring interest of Luxemburg’s, along with geology.

After the world changed in March 2020, many of us became acutely aware of the varied ways that we experience time. Extreme social distancing made time contract and expand at once, with hours crawling by while weeks flew—or perhaps the reverse. During that early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, artist and writer Jenny Odell began to feel acutely what farmers throughout history have always known: not all minutes, hours, or days are equal in length.

I sat very nonetheless, fingers poised on my keyboard, silently watching, not eager to spook it away. I knew its identify—towhee—as a result of I had lately grow to be obsessive about birds, regardless of rising up in New York City and never realizing a lot past the neighborhood road pigeon.

Time hovers over the page as I write this sentence. 4:15 p.m. Small characters perched in the upper right corner of my computer screen — an unobtrusive yet inescapable reminder that no matter where I am and no matter what I’m doing, I am always on the clock. Across the room, more time cues blink — the coffee maker and oven would also like me to be aware of the time. Not to be outdone, my phone chimes in — a text message sent, three minutes ago, from my editor. Yes, I’m on deadline. Aren’t we all?

The Frankfurt book Fair has been running for 75 years and it’s the largest book fair in the world. To give you a sense of scale, this year it attracted 105,000 trade visitors from 130 different countries. It’s a place where publishers, rights managers, agents, scouts, distributors, translation agents and other bookish types meet and trade. The fair is held at the exhibition grounds of Messe Frankfurt, a bewilderingly large “city within a city”.
