Keywords: The New Language of Capitalism
John Patrick Leary | Haymarket Books | 9781608465446 | January 2019
“As[Leary] explores what our language has looked like, and the ugliness now embedded in it, [he] invites us to imagine what our language could emphasize,what values it might reflect. . . . His book reminds us of the alternatives that persist behind these keywords: our managers may call us as ‘human capital,’but we are also workers. We are also people.”—The Outline

Permanent Exhibit
Matthew Vollmer | BOA Editions | 9781942683681 | September 2018
“While this brand of meditation might seem disastrously unfocused to the yogis among us, the disaster for readers is a delicious one—Vollmer leaps from thought to thought in an associative mode which is at once intimate and goofy, juxtaposing the warm and familiar against the inconceivably catastrophic. The result is a poignant, rapturous collection that speaks to a new generation of internet addicts—a group for whom attention is wandering and complex, as frustrating as it is beautiful.”—Los Angeles Review of Books

Mark Anderson and Ralph Heibutzki | Akashic Books | 9781617752933 | July 2018
“One of the most rewarding music books you’ll come across this year . . . Great music books catalyze critical reconsiderations; We Are the Clash does one better, inviting readers to consider what matters to them: the creative commodities that artists produce? Or the ideals, however complexly and clumsily human they may be, that often compel artists to create in the first place.”—Johns Hopkins Magazine
