“There is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged. My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at sixteen, James in 2024, at nineteen. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home.” There is no good way to say this—because words fall short. It takes only an instant for death to become fact, “a single point in a timeline.” Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James.

Un retrato perspicaz y atrevido de la masculinidad contemporánea. Cualquier feminista que haya dialogado ante el público sobre las frustraciones y los lastres innatos a la aventura de ser mujer habrá tenido que enfrentarse alguna vez a la pregunta: «¿Y los hombres qué?». Y si la feminista en cuestión lleva años intentando convencer a ese público de que las preocupaciones de ambos sexos son cosas muy distintas, su respuesta automática, muy probablemente, habrá sido algo como: «¿Por qué me sacan este tema? ¡Yo soy feminista! ¡Mi especialidad son las mujeres! No me ocupo de… los otros».

A deeply insightful take on how hate and insecurity can be intertwined, and an endearing love letter to the natural world, ‘On the Purpose of Hating’ is one of the most renowned essays from the brilliant mind of William Hazlitt. In ‘On the Purpose of Hating’, Hazlitt explores the complexities of hatred. He compellingly argues that hatred can have a self-destructive edge, and can do just as much harm to the person who harbours it as the subject of it. At its heart, hatred is merely a coping mechanism to manage our own shortcomings.

Story
In sixteen wholly original essays that blend memoir, cultural criticism, investigative journalism, and a dash of fanfiction, Walker places her own experiences within the larger context of the pressing and underdiscussed aspects of contemporary American womanhood that make up daily life. She explores the allure and violence of assimilating into white womanhood in all its hegemonic glory, exposes the ways in which the truth of trans women's reproductive healthcare is erased in favor of reactionary narratives, and considers how our agency is stripped from us—purely on account of our bodies.

Story
« Mes grands-parents ont grandi à l’Est de l’Europe, dans des pays de grands froids. Ils ont connu le chaos, les persécutions et l’exil. Plus qu’un désir, une fascination, la France fut pour eux une intuition. Même si tout cela m’est inconnu, cela ne m’est pas étranger. Je porte en moi leurs racines et aujourd’hui, sans que je les convoque, elles se rappellent à moi. ».
