Myfavorite read in 2024A polyphonic multilayered book. It describes Haida oral literature; it tells the story of the Haida people of the pacific Northwest; and how their works were retold by a US anthropologist in his 190-1901 fieldwork. At one and the same time an excavation of a colonial encounter, a literary study and an anthological detective story. The Haida stories are magical., disturbing and weird. Impossible to classify and difficult to put down.

Throughout his career, Paul Holdengräber has chronicled the times we live in by interviewing artists, writers, and thinkers, and he remained a curator of public curiosity when the pandemic hit. With The Quarantine Tapes, which ran for two years, Holdengräber documented shifting paradigms in the age of social distancing. On March 3, 2021, he phoned scholar, author, editor, and critic Merve Emre to find out what had been occupying her days during lockdown.

In memoriam Stan Dragland, 1942–2022Life is language, I wanted to say. Only problem: it isn’t. Not language exactly, not languageas such. Not a particular language either, thoughit has a lot to say—in fact, no end of thingsto say—and it can listen through the cracks, as everylanguage needs to do. Is it something like a language? A metaphor for language? Or is language a metaphor for it? Of course, of course. But more like many languages than one.

Il y a cinq possibilités. La première : Adam est tombé. La deuxième : on l’a poussé. La troisième : il a sauté. La quatrième :il n’a fait que se pencher au-dessus du bord et un regard a suffi à le réduire au silence. La cinquième : il n’arriva rien à Adam qui vaille la peine qu’onen parle. La première – il est tombé – est trop simple. La quatrième, la peur, nous l’avons éprouvée. Elle est inutile. La cinquième, rien n’est arrivé, est sans intérêt.
