Story
S--t You Should Care about was launched as a WordPress blog by three best friends in the back of a political science lecture. Today it's a global ecosystem of content - two podcasts, 3.5 million Instagram followers and a daily newsy. They are your culture vultures, news agents and (reluctant) agony aunts all rolled into one. Make It Make Sense is a collage of cultural analysis, anecdotes, personal essays, poems, and lists, interplayed like a conversation between friends.

Story
In questo saggio dirompente e suggestivo, l’artista tedesca di origine afghana Moshtari Hilal prosegue in forma scritta – ma anche attraverso disegni e fotografie – la sua indagine sugli aspetti sociali e politici delle categorie estetiche. Secondo Hilal, infatti, la “bruttezza” è un fatto sociale, politico, persino economico, indubbiamente legato alla razzializzazione degli individui. Hilal sostiene che la bruttezza, così come la razza, non sia qualcosa che esista sul piano della realtà, ma piuttosto una categoria politico-economica utile a veicolare l’odio nei confronti di corpi e identità non conformi.

Story
Autor irrepetible, forjador de un nuevo modo de ver y contar, maestro del cuento, la literatura en Chéjov se filtra en cada palabra que esculpía, más allá de su obra de ficción: "la literatura es mi amante". Amor, vida y literatura. Eso es lo que el lector disfrutará con esta compilación de cartas y aforismos en los que la figura de Chéjov aumenta, crece y nos atraviesa porque quizá no haya mejor lectura que internarse en la mente, en las palabras secretas, en la sensibilidad de un genio.

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

Story
Alla vecchiaia comunemente si pensa come a una stagione di triste declino, d’immobilità, di giorni vuoti. Oppure, oggi più che mai, come a un’età in cui ancora tutto è possibile, in un prolungamento indefinito della giovinezza. Ma non appena laceriamo il velo dei tabù e dei luoghi comuni, l’"età grande" spalanca davanti a noi paesaggi inesplorati. Nel suo nuovo libro Gabriella Caramore fa esattamente questo: risponde all’esigenza di spingere lo sguardo tra le fenditure del tempo, ponendosi in ascolto "della propria carne e del proprio sentire".

Story
"Sich zu streiten heißt, Unversöhnlichkeit zuzulassen." Svenja Flaßpöhler gilt als streitlustig, als jemand, die gerne angreifbare Positionen vertritt. Doch in ihr wohnt eine ganz andere Erfahrung: die eines Trennungskinds, das mit der Angst vor Streit und Eskalation aufgewachsen ist. In ihrem persönlich-philosophischen Essay zeigt sie, dass über das Streiten nachzudenken vor allem heißt, sich von Illusionen zu befreien. Ein Streit ist kein herrschaftsfreier Diskurs, sondern es geht um Macht: Vernichtung ist immer als Möglichkeit präsent.

EL ESPERADO REGRESO DE MARUJA TORRES. Vivir para contarlo. Tal vez sea una frase muy manida, pero lo cierto es que resume a la perfección el retorno a las librerías de una de las voces más descaradas de nuestro país. Maruja Torres saca punta a las rutinas de su día a día para conservar los destellos de un mundo que se apaga a través de reflexiones hilarantes sobre vivir más (o menos) y mejor (o como se pueda). Un divertido y afilado ejercicio de adaptación a una vida que justo se empieza a comprender cuando nos acercamos al final de la escalera.

Comme pour les plus grandes dates de l'histoire récente, beaucoup d'anonymes et bien sûr tous les amateurs de Formule 1 se souviennent où ils étaient et ce qu'ils faisaient le 1er mai 1994 lorsqu'ils ont appris que le champion brésilien venait de se tuer sur le circuit d'Imola.
