NYRSeminars presents: “The Political Novel” with Edwin Frank, Editor of New York Review Books We live in a political world, per Bob Dylan, and the song suggests that is not such a good thing. The modern novel grew up alongside the modern political world, and has kept a fascinated and incredulous eye on it for the last few centuries. In this seminar, Edwin Frank, Editor of New York Review Books and the author of Stranger than Fiction: The Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel, will look at four novelists—Anthony Trollope, Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, and Ursula K. Le Guin—and their different visions of politics.  Seminars, to be conducted online, will meet weekly. We are offering memberships at two levels: Full Members will have the opportunity to discuss the work with Edwin Frank during the live sessions, while Auditors will be able to listen in on the discussion. Both membership levels will have access to our online Canvas platform, which features supplemental materials and discussion boards, as well as recordings of all sessions. The first seminar series on Anthony Trollope will consist of four weekly sessions beginning Monday, September 8, 2025. For a limited time, we are offering a $10 discount for each of Edwin Frank’s first series of NYRSeminars. Discount ends Sunday, August 17!   Register for Anthony Trollope today!   Register for the other seminars in this series Each seminar requires separate registration   Joseph Conrad Heart of Darkness, The Secret Agent, and Nostromo Four sessions, starting Monday, October 6, 2025 Register for Joseph Conrad   H.G.

Hothead Paisan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist

“The radical lesbians of the early 1970s who declared that ‘a lesbian is the rage of all women condensed to the point of explosion’ were speaking figuratively. But when Hothead Paisan hit the scene twenty years later, the blast was literal and resounding.... Thank god these comics are back in print because we need Hothead now more than ever.” —Alison Bechdel, creator of Dykes to Watch Out For HOTHEAD PAISAN HOMICIDAL LESBIAN TERRORIST Diane DiMassa Introduction by Sarah Schulman Interview by Jay Graham Hothead Paisan is an icon of the ’90s lesbian DIY scene, a patron saint of those who wonder if going off the deep end is the only sane response to life in modern America.  Diane DiMassa’s Hothead starts out in a murderous frenzy—taking out a variety of chauvinists and creeps—but soon deepens into a reflection on oppression, self-destruction, and living it up outside the conservative norms of the ’90s. Hothead’s rage is stoked by her inner demon, Personality #2, but sometimes tempered with the help of Roz, her friend who offers Zen wisdom and tough love, and Chicken, her cat and constant companion. This edition of Hothead Paisan includes an introduction by Sarah Schulman and an illuminating new interview with DiMassa by Jay Graham, which dives into the origins of Hothead, the evolution of the character, and the community that formed around the series throughout its original run. “As a brand-new baby trans woman in the early 1990s, I looked everywhere to find out how to be a proper lesbian. And I almost succeeded, when happily and just in time, Hothead Paisan helped me find my inner badass dyke. Chicken rules!” —Kate Bornstein For three days only, Hothead Paisan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist is available at 25% off.

¿No puedes ver este email? Míralo en tu navegador Semana del 11 de agosto ¡Queridas lectoras y lectores! Este agosto en Alibri hemos decidido romper la rutina veraniega y apostar por eventos diferentes: creativos, temáticos, divertidos y, sobre todo, originales. Y no podemos estar más felices con la respuesta: cada día, nuevos lectores se suman a celebrar con nosotras el amor por los libros, entre tazas de té, galletas, pinceles o partidas de trivial literario.   El viernes, por ejemplo, la magia se coló por cada rincón de la librería con un torneo de Harry Potter que todavía nos tiene sonriendo (y revisando quién se llevó la copa de la casa).   Pero no os adelanto más… os lo cuento más abajo. Ahora, vamos con las recomendaciones de la semana: Ana, Maria y yo misma os traemos lecturas para todos los gustos.   Un abrazo, Eloisa Ana recomienda... 📚 Impedimenta   Narrativa   Crisálida Fernando Navarro   Novela oscura, intensa y profundamente perturbadora que nos ofrece un viaje al abismo.   A través de la mirada de una niña, conocemos a una familia rota: un padre abusivo, una madre atrapada en su propia mente y unos hermanos perdidos entre la brutalidad y la supervivencia. [...] Sigue leyendo Elo recomienda... 📚 Blackie Books   Narrativa    Muerte con pingüino Andrei Kurkov   🐧 ¿Un escritor frustrado, un pingüino doméstico y una serie de necrológicas demasiado bien informadas?   Así arranca Muerte con pingüino, una novela ucraniana tan absurda como adictiva. Kurkov juega con el noir, el humor negro y la melancolía post-soviética para contarnos la historia de Víctor y su pingüino Misha, dos solitarios atrapados en una Kiev gris y surreal. [...]   Sigue leyendo María recomienda... 📚 RM    Narrativa    Pedro Páramo Juan Rulfo   Uno de los clásicos imprescindibles de la literatura latinoamericana que, si no conoces, deberías leer.   Este verano viaja a Comala, donde se confunden los vivos y los muertos. Rodeado de murmullos y fantasmas del pasado, saldrás de ahí y no sabrás si todo ha sido un sueño. Lo quiero Alibri se convierte en el epicentro de la magia   El pasado viernes, seis intrépidos equipos se enfrentaron en El Gran Torneo de la Librería, una contienda reservada para auténticos conocedores del universo de Harry Potter. Todo comenzó con el Sombrero Seleccionador asignando a cada participante su destino mágico. Una vez repartidos los colores y las rivalidades, dio inicio un torneo de cinco rondas tan variadas como despiadadas: preguntas de trivial para los cerebros más eruditos, retos de pictionary para los artistas veloces y pruebas estilo Tabú para quienes dominan el arte de la palabra.   La tensión creció ronda tras ronda, y el murmullo entre las estanterías presagiaba un final de infarto. Finalmente, el marcador señaló un empate entre Durmstrang y Slytherin. Fue entonces cuando la ronda de desempate coronó a los verdes como indiscutibles campeones. Cada miembro de Slytherin se llevó bajo el brazo un libro y una cajita sorpresa de Harry Potter, creada artesanalmente por @maduiixa, repleta de stickers y chapitas irresistiblemente cuquis.   Para quienes se lo perdieron, que no cunda el pánico: en agosto tendremos dos torneos más —uno dedicado a BookTok y otro a El señor de los anillos— y, atención, pronto anunciaremos nuevas fechas para otro Gran Torneo de Harry Potter. Después de todo, la gloria… siempre merece una revancha. 🪄📚 Quiero saber más Darte de baja · Gestionar las preferencias ·  Política de Privacidad © 2024 - BOOKISH VENTURES SL - Todos los derechos reservados
