Clare Carlisle’s revelatory ‘Transcendence for Beginners’
| “In this elegant, eloquent, elegiac book, Clare Carlisle describes the movements of other lives, as well as those of her own life, that open paths to understanding what it means to live a life of devotion.... In an era marked by rampant cruelty and selfishness, Transcendence for Beginners offers its readers various modes of the radiant life, one that embraces joy but can also navigate loss and grief in that strange flux of being we call ‘time.’” —Siri Hustvedt TRANSCENDENCE FOR BEGINNERSLIFE WRITING AND PHILOSOPHYClare CarlisleTranscendence for Beginners is an innovative book about philosophy and life writing, exploring how each practice might complement the other and so contribute to a greater understanding of human existence. Reflecting on writers and thinkers from Europe and India—such as Spinoza and Kierkegaard, Maharshi and Proust—Clare Carlisle examines how deep, genuine wisdom and goodness are transmitted by individual lives. She considers her own intertwined pursuits as a philosopher and a biographer, as well as her roles as a mother and a daughter. Animated by the spirit of inquiry and the desire to share its rewards, Transcendence for Beginners is a generous, enlivening work by one of today's most original thinkers. “This is the book of a lifetime, and a book about lifetimes. What is the relationship between philosophy and biography? How can a line of writing reveal a line of living? Clare Carlisle is a guide and a guru: Transcendence for Beginners is a transformative and transcending experience.” For three days only, Transcendence for Beginners Events with Clare CarlisleWednesday, April 15, at 7pm ET |

Two books by Nancy Lemann
| A new novel, The Oyster Diaries, and a new edition of the author’s cult-classic debut, Lives of the Saints—both available at 25% off for the next three days THE OYSTER DIARIESNancy LemannDelery Anhalt—middle-aged and prone to “embroidering everything into vast ideals” but incapable of identifying the Shakespearean villains in her life—finds herself at a crossroads. Her father and his peers, the old guard of New Orleans, are entering their twilight years. Her daughters are stepping decisively into adulthood. Delery, caught between the demands of the generations, takes stock of herself in a series of diaries that move freely between present and past: from the waning days of Covid and her employment as a virtual court monitor of criminal cases in New Orleans to the travails of daily life in Washington, DC. Throughout, she revisits what she calls her lions at the gate: her insecurity, ego, annoyance, operatic wrath (felt most keenly toward bad houseguests), and remorse. “[Lemann’s] work evokes something old-fashioned in its manner and tone, and this proves to be a way she keeps herself from being subsumed in the clichés of modern culture even as she is examining it.... Though she is describing us, we feel she is looking at us from another time, through the lens of the ages.” LIVES OF THE SAINTSNancy Lemann |
