When Brian Dillon was sixteen his mother died and he simply gave up all schoolwork. While he courted exam failure, his real education was going on elsewhere: with books, music, films and television. When at last he made it to university, his head was already full of avant-garde writing, art and ideas. Could academia live up to the hopes and dreams he had invested in it? Halfway through college his father died, and the stakes of reading and writing seemed even higher. Ambivalence explores what learning meant to its author, what it enabled and denied, between the ages of seventeen and twenty-six, when he left his native Dublin. Its at once a memoir of that city in the 1980s and 1990s, an uncynical portrait of the adolescent and early-adult mind, and an intimate defence of radical thinking about literature and life. In vivid present-tense fragments, Dillon describes his first encounters with writers such as Virginia Woolf, Walter Benjamin, Samuel Beckett, Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida. He recalls being seduced by ambivalence, ambiguity and androgyny on the page and in the life he hoped his reading would transfigure. The era he describes seemed to demand new ways of thinking about aesthetics and politics. Today, when rights are fragile, arts and humanities attacked, and students dismissed as radicals or narcissists, Ambivalence is an argument for the poetic and revolutionary force of changing yourself and even the world by changing what you know.

¿Alguna vez sentiste que tu día depende de un trámite imposible o que un mensaje nunca llega, aunque lo envíes mil veces? Bienvenido al mundo de Franz Kafka: un lugar donde la burocracia, el absurdo y la espera interminable son protagonistas, y donde los personajes parecen atrapados en laberintos sin salida.Con un estilo accesible, agudo y cargado de ejemplos del cine, la literatura y la filosofia, Matias Moscardi nos acerca a Kafka, un autor cuya fama puede intimidar a primera vista, pero cuya lectura, al fin y al cabo, nos habla de nosotros mismos y del desconcierto a veces comico, a veces terrible de habitar el mundo.

In August 1939, a ship flying the Polish flag docked in Buenos Aires. On board was a delegation of businessmen, diplomats and journalists. Days later, the captain received orders to return home with all crew and passengers in light of the imminent outbreak of the Second World War. But one man, fascinated by the city, chose to stay at the very last minute. Thus began the unexpected twenty-four-year Argentine exile of one of the twentieth centurys major writers: Witold Gombrowicz. Drawing on his writings and interviews with surviving disciples, writers and scholars, Mercedes Halfons Outsider Everywhere traces Gombrowiczs Argentine years in elegant, pared-back prose, and composes a vivid account of mid-century bohemia in Buenos Aires. Brilliantly translated by Rahul Bery, Mercedes Halfons Outsider Everywhere is a gripping portrait of a literary figure on the margins who rose to prominence late in life to become one of the greatest novelists of our century (Milan Kundera).
