“Lui le aveva raccontato che un estuario è come un imbuto, proprio com’era quella terra dove stavano loro, una cannula di imbuto che portava chissà dove”

In un luogo sconosciuto fatto d’erbacce e case sghembe, scorrono immagino di sogno e di solitudine, di speranza e di oblio. Come in “Una settimana di bontà” di Max Ernst, il mondo appare come un’anatomia tagliata da becchi affilati.

“Estuario o Epifania”, un racconto di Ludovico Franzolini, ora su Position(s).

We are so happy to finally unveil the cover of the next book of the Thoughts One Can't Do Without Series: Under Conditions Not of Our Choosing by Andrew Ross!

Andrew Ross reflects on his experience of combining activism with writing to offer guidance on how we can meet our political obligations when presented with events of historical significance. Discussing what solidarity, inspiration, opportunism, and consensus might mean for us today, Ross looks at the events of the past few years with a qualified optimism informed by a "rich archive of venerated icons, actions, and movements".
Andrew Ross is a social activist and Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU. A contributor to the Guardian, the New York Times, The Nation, Artforum, and Al Jazeera, he is the author or editor of more than twenty books, including Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal, Bird on Fire, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Fast Boat to China, No-Collar, and The Celebration Chronicles. His latest book, Stone Men: The Palestinians Who Built Israel, was the winner of a Palestine Book Award.

Out on 11th November and available to preorder.

We are also very excited to announce that Juxta Press will be participating in the upcoming online edition of the Palestine Writes Literature Festival (December 2nd - 6th). More details soon!

An extract from Dance of the Oryx by Ubah Cristina Ali Farah, translated by Hope Campbell Gustafson is now up on Position(s).

La Danza dell’orice is the third book in the Words for Portraits series.
translated by inspired by and with work by (link in bio)
Madonna Mia Proteggimi by Faith47 reflects upon the dangerous passage taken by stowaways in their journey over the oceans to idealised promised lands. The mural is textured with scrawlings referenced from writings by stowaways found under bridges in port towns.

Attingendo a pensatori della tradizione laica e teologica, da Iris Murdoch ad Agostino di Ippona, per proporre una visione per un modo di "essere con l'altro" che contrasta con il lavorare per, lavorare con, o essere l'uno per l'altro.
Questa collana si propone di guardare a quei pensieri che non sono soltanto di passaggio, ma che rimangono nel corso della vita, offrendo prospettive da autori e pensatori molto diversi tra loro.
