Pinin Brambilla Barcilon

This extraordinary volume, which

essays are contained 249 pages of the
most breathtakingly beautiful photographs in modern art.Sixteenth

The practice of widow-burning

moral virtues that come with
favoritism: loyalty, generosity, and

some as cruel or outdated to accept

this outlook is actually conducive
to the moral virtues that utilitarians struggle to justify.Reason

Grard Mairet
Translated by Philip Derbyshire
In this rigorous investigation of the

notion of sovereignty from Bodin
and Hobbes, through Rousseau
and the Federalists, to Foucault
and the framers of the European
constitution, Mairet examines the
articulation of the concept through
the bloody history of European
colonialism. He also shows how
the reconstitution of the European
political community after World
War II offered the hope of a postsovereign mode of political beingin-the-world.

The History of

Edited by Alan D. Schrift

While Gilles Deleuze complained
that the history of philosophy
plays a patently repressive role
in philosophical education, this
outstanding eight-volume work
will have the opposite effect on
readers. It opens up new vistas and
possibilities by bringing canonical
figures (Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche,
Heidegger, Sartre, Derrida), the
necessary supporting cast (Herder,
Schelling, Kierkegaard, Peirce),
and marginal voices (Freud,
Dostoevsky, utopian socialists,
black existentialists) often given
short shrift in less comprehensive
histories into sharp focus.

It is a deeply personal book

America and the Religion of No Religion

Esalen drew eccentrics and artists like Aldous Huxley, Timothy

consisted, according to Kripal, of
sodomy in the baths, glossolalia in
the lodge, fistfights in the parking

meditation in the Big House.

Nostalgia/Utopia

Few contemporary artists have

Clemente, whose wide-eyed portraits and bold manipulation of
images from art and popular culture have established him as one of
the foremost artists working today.
Presented in this book are the
paintings that comprise his most
recent series, Nostalgia/Utopia.
Clemente continues to draw inspiration from a range of cultural
sources, from yellow taxicabs to
Piranesis etchings of subterranean
prisons to ancient Indian epics and
myth.

are as compelling today as they

unique inspirations to create his art.

Richard Shiff
Shiffs close attention to de

Painting the Difference

Sex and Spectator in Modern Art
Charles Harrison
Harrison wants to show how
much more psychologically and
politically complex are the depictions of women in some key
Impressionist and early 20thcentury paintings than is generally
made out by their feminist interpreters.Art Monthly
Harrison thus proposes that
a central task of early modernist
painting was to generate critical
reflection about the automatic
identification of vision with the
viewpoint of one sex and class.

The book is shockingly beautiful,

to illuminate the often austere

Rem Koolhaas, Helmut Jahn) and
deservedly unknown. . . . In his
way, Fortino is as conscious an artist as his modernist forebears, from
Mondrian to Barnett Newman, Ad
Reinhardt, Dan Flavin and other
icons of American minimalism.

The Dawn of the Deed

The Prehistoric Origins of Sex
John A. Long
From sharks that mate while
doing a headstand on the ocean
floor to ducks with enormous
corkscrew penises, John Long
humorously details the how and
why of that funny little act we
call sex. At times, the book is a
bit heavy on autobiography of his
paleontological finds, but thats
more than made up for by copious entertaining anecdotes about
things like fruit bat fellatio and
necrophilic snakes. Also, two
words: T-rex sex.Salon

Thane Rosenbaum
Revenge is seldom discussed

specifically targets the comfortable

Shakespeares Freedom
Stupefaction
A Radical Anatomy of Phantoms
Keston Sutherland
From Shakespeare to Beckett, the
contradictory figure of the fool
who possesses unexpected wisdom
has been a popular and effective
literary trope and rhetorical figure
for centuries. Philosophy needs idiots too, argues Keston Sutherland.
Here he examines how speculative and satirical descriptions
of stupidity function in art and
argument. His examples include
Alexander Popes dunce, Adornos
philistine, and Wordsworths
mechanical adopter of poetic diction. Sutherland also provides an
important new account of the figure of the bourgeois in Marx.

Stories from a Chicago Cab
Lee Siegel
Who Wrote the Book

of Love?
Hilarious. . . . A delicious, pageturning memoir that spans those
doctor-playing, sex-obsessed,
hormone-drenched years from
5 to 15. Its witty, warm, terribly
sweet in places, and theres never
a dull moment on any single
page. . . . Siegel has not just written a royally entertaining comic
memoir, but he has given us a
time capsule of our one-time
national innocence.Chicago
Tribune
Never has [Siegels] humor been
sharper or his characters more
alluring than in this shrewdly
spiked, cheerfully erotic, incident-rich Hollywood coming-ofage tale.Booklist

Thomas Bernhard
Translated by Peter Jansen and Kenneth J. Northcott

With a Foreword by Brian Evenson
The reader is instantly transported

into the comic nightmare we recognize from his longer novels and
theater. It is Bernhards postwar
Austria, menacing, provincial,
suffocating, where the beauty of
the Alpine setting serves as a mask
of hypocrisy concealing guilt and
decay.Chicago Tribune Books

Zdenek Jirotka

A delicious dry humour and an

the writing is rich in homespun
