Why you should read: 100 Years of the American Dream
“Thanks for the American Dream To vulgarize and falsify until The bare lies shine through”–William S. Burroughs, “Thanksgiving Prayer” Vulgarized, falsified, lionized, satirized, vilified, glorified and on and on, the American Dream is many things to many people. But just

A figure, in the precise sense of one who cares for (cura) — books, works, texts, people, ideas, people, oh people —, one might even say a guardian of ideas and people, persons with ideas, is no longer with us

Suburbanism
As its title suggests, Robert Wood’s Suburbanism is centrally concerned with the concept of place as both ideological site and lived experience. These two elements are fused in Wood’s sense of space as deeply connected to one’s personal identity;

A Theory of the Aphorism
For a literary form as pervasive as the aphorism, it is a great surprise that it is not as widely studied as it is received – and transmitted. With a history that is far-reaching and multi-cultural, the aphorism stands

A Labour of Love
Where is the place of thought in writing, or reading? Compelled by this question, philosophers since Plato have either ventured or deviated from it in many different ways. Few, however, have paused to reflect upon the journey itself. A rhythmic
