What We Can Know: A Novel
by Ian McEwanFrom the Booker prize–winning, bestselling author of Atonement and Saturday, a genre-bending new novel full of secrets and surprises; an immersive exploration, across time and history, of what can ever be truly known.2014: At a dinner for close friends and colleagues, renowned poet Francis Blundy honors his wife&’s birthday by reading aloud a new poem dedicated to her, &‘A Corona for Vivien&’. Much wine is drunk as the guests listen, and a delicious meal consumed.

In the water-logged south of what used to be England, Thomas Metcalfe, a lonely scholar and researcher, longs for the early twenty-first century as he chases the ghost of one poem, &‘A Corona for Vivian&’. How wild and full of risk their lives were, thinks Thomas, as he pores over the archives of that distant era, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the elusive poem&’s discovery, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a brutal crime that destroy his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well.What We Can Know is a masterpiece, a fictional tour de force, a love story about both people and the words they leave behind, a literary detective story which reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.
The City of Our Dreaming: The Alchemy Lecture 2024 (The Alchemy Lecture)
by Laleh Khalili Leanne Betasamosake Simpson V. Mitch McEwen Gabriela Leandro PereiraFour Alchemists. One book. A constellation of ideas.The third annual Alchemy Lecture took place in October 2024 at York University to a sold-out in-person audience and online viewers from multiple continents. Four Alchemists—thinkers and practitioners working across disciplines and geographies—shared their ideas of cities and how to shape them according to community needs. Their urgent, poignant and inventive lectures have been captured and expanded in these pages.Princeton professor of architecture V. Mitch McEwen borrows the language of the swamp to suggest a city modeled on buoyancy, inviting us to consider floating &“as something other than displacement.&” Iranian-American writer Laleh Khalili dreams of radical kinship, where even strangers have the means and desire to share a table, &“creating [bonds] through the rituals of reciprocal giving.&” In the Bantu/Kongo tradition, Brazilian architect Gabriela Leandro Pereira points to dreams as the site from which all Black emancipation begins, leading to &“projects paved by the audacity to inhabit.&” And Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer and musician Leanne Betasamosake Simpson examines how collectives form at the thresholds between things, when one &“chooses life, Black life, Palestinian life, Indigenous life, the life of the watered, aired and landed . . . over and over again, across every scale, temporality and spatiality. Relentlessly.&”These lectures are clarion calls for new conceptions of city life. Here, our Alchemists imagine the architectures and infrastructures that make possible, inevitable and irresistible gestures of freedom, modes of sustenance, and the necessity and pleasure of breaking bread, together.

A Long Day at the End of the World: A Story of Desecration and Revelation in the Deep South
by Brent HendricksA chilling memoir of the Tri-State Crematory incidentIn February 2002, hundreds of abandoned and decayed bodies were discovered at the Tri-State Crematory in rural Georgia, making it the largest mass desecration in modern American history. The perpetrator—a well-respected family man and a former hometown football star—had managed to conceal the horror for five years. Among the bodies found at the Tri-State Crematory was that of Brent Hendricks's father. To quell the psychic disturbance surrounding the desecration, Hendricks embarked on a pilgrimage to the crematory site in Georgia. In A Long Day at the End of the World, he reveals his very complicated relationship with the South as he tries to reconcile his love-hate feelings for the culture with his own personal and familial history there, and his fascination with the disturbed landscape. In achingly beautiful prose, Hendricks explores his fraught relationship with his father—not just the grief that surrounded his death but the uncanniness of his resurrection. It's a story that's so heart-wrenching, so unbelievable, and so sensational that it would be easy to tell it without delving deep. But Hendricks's inquiry is unrelenting, and he probes the extremely difficult questions about the love between a parent and a child, about the way human beings treat each other—in life and in death—and about the sanctity of the body. It's the perfect storm for a true Southern Gothic tale.
Goliath's Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse
by Luke KempA NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB'S MUST-READ BOOK • A radical retelling of human history through the cycle of societal collapse—"a Cassandra-like warning about the path today&’s oligarchs have set [and] a sweeping and dire vision of a world on the brink.&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) &“Deeply sobering and strangely inspiring. . . . Read it now, or your descendants will find it in the ruins.&” —Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus &“Anyone who doubts the importance of this conversation hasn&’t been paying attention.&” —Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun12,000 years ago, human history changed forever when the egalitarian groups of hunter-gathering humans began to settle down and organize themselves into hierarchies. The few dominated the many, seizing control through violence. What emerged were &“Goliaths&”: large societies built on a collection of hierarchies that are also terrifyingly fragile, collapsing time after time across the world. Today, we live in a single, global Goliath—one that is precariously interdependent—under threat from nuclear war, climate change, and the existential risks of AI. The next collapse may be our last. In Goliath&’s Curse, Cambridge scholar Luke Kemp conducts a historical autopsy on our species, from the earliest cities to the collapse of modern states like Somalia. Drawing on historical databases and the latest discoveries in archaeology and anthropology, he uncovers groundbreaking revelations: More democratic societies tend to be more resilient.A modern collapse is likely to be global, long-lasting, and more dire than ever before.Collapse may be invisible until after it has occurred. It&’s possible we&’re living through one now.Collapse has often had a more positive outcome for the general population than for the 1%.All Goliaths contain the seeds of their own demise. As useful for finding a way forward as it is for diagnosing our precarious present, Goliath&’s Curse is a stark reminder that there are both bright and dark sides to societal collapse—that it is not necessarily a reversion to chaos or a dark age—and that making a more resilient world may well mean making a more just one.
