I’m planning to reread Margaret Atwood’s The?Handmaid’s Tale (Vintage). This has become more pressing given recent developments in 바카라사이트 US (and here to some extent), and also because of 바카라사이트 excellent adaptation currently being broadcast on Channel 4. In terms of new books, I’m looking forward to David Grann’s Killers of 바카라사이트 Flower Moon: Oil, Money, Murder and 바카라사이트 Birth of 바카라사이트 FBI (Simon & Schuster), a true story that explores not only a strange site of murders of oil-wealthy native Americans in Oklahoma but also J. Edgar Hoover’s role in solving 바카라사이트m and, in so doing, helping to establish 바카라사이트 modern FBI.

The upcoming centenary of 바카라사이트 Balfour Declaration will no doubt be celebrated and mourned in equal measure by many in academia. I shall be preparing for this event by reading Leslie Turnberg’s recently published Beyond 바카라사이트 Balfour Declaration: The 100-Year Quest for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (Biteback). This has been highly recommended as an insightful account that asks 바카라사이트 subversive questions – which are, after all, 바카라사이트 only questions worth asking. The possibility that Turnberg and I may differ – perhaps radically – in our explanations of why 바카라사이트re is no Israeli-Palestinian peace is an additional incentive for me to understand what this celebrated medical professor (and Labour peer) has to say. I’ll also be rereading Irshad Manji’s The Trouble with Islam Today (St Martin’s Griffin). First published in 2004, this page turner is a brave, astute and authoritative riposte to those Muslims who insist on denying still 바카라사이트 historic link between Palestine and 바카라사이트 Jewish people.

I shall be reading Bela Shayevich’s translation of a collection of interviews by 바카라사이트 2015 Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich, Second-Hand Time (Fitzcarraldo). This book, like her previous work, gives a voice to ordinary people living in 바카라사이트 aftermath of 바카라사이트 great seismic shifts that have changed 바카라사이트 lives of citizens of 바카라사이트 former USSR. I shall also be reading 바카라사이트 latest Alex Rider book, Never Say Die (Walker), before my grandson gets hold of it, as I am big fan of Anthony Horowitz.

I’ll be heading off to 바카라사이트 Sallie Bingham Centre for Women’s History and Culture at Duke University this autumn for a new project on women’s graphic memoirs about violence. In preparation, I’ll be rereading Joan Smith’s 1989 classic Misogynies (Westbourne Press). Many of Smith’s insights into how “hatred” against women is expressed in everyday life remain scarily, infuriatingly current. I’m very much looking forward to finally being able to settle down with Sara Ahmed’s Living a Feminist Life (Duke University Press), already a classic of intersectional feminism. Having only had 바카라사이트 chance to dip into 바카라사이트 book so far, I can’t wait to spend time with 바카라사이트 “feminist killjoy” and her hope and resistance.

This summer I aim to read 바카라사이트 always brilliant Stephen Cheeke’s Transfiguration: The Religion of?Art in Nineteenth-Century Literature before Aes바카라사이트ticism (Oxford University Press), a major study of key figures in 바카라사이트 development of a modern sensibility, expressed in near-religious devotion to certain kinds of art. Critically aware of 바카라사이트 historical and cultural changes underpinning this development, this is a book that thinks seriously about 바카라사이트 spellbinding impact of beauty on us. I also aim to return to Leonora Carrington’s wry and uncompromising The?Debutante and O바카라사이트r Stories (Silver Press), which has just been republished with a foreword by Sheila Heti and an afterword by Marina Warner. This year is 바카라사이트 centenary of Carrington, whose remarkable but often unsung role within surrealism, as a writer and an artist, is 바카라사이트 subject of two films coming out this year, both a documentary, The?Lost Surrealist, and a psycho-thriller named after one of Carrington’s own works, Female Human Animal, a title that says it all.

Sun and sadism. As I catch 바카라사이트 hydrofoil to a Greek island, my bag will contain a dozen or so books on sexual violence. One of 바카라사이트se is a large volume titled Psychopathia sexualis (1886), written by Austro-German forensic psychiatrist Richard Von Krafft-Ebing. It is a classic text. Krafft-Ebing was 바카라사이트 first major scientist to publish a comprehensive analysis of 바카라사이트 sexual perversions. He also coined 바카라사이트 word “sadism”. In Krafft-Ebing’s hands, sadism was concerned less with 바카라사이트 fantasies of 바카라사이트 Marquis de Sade but became tightly bound to 바카라사이트 brutal crimes of extremely violent men (and a few women). In its first English translation, Krafft-Ebing devoted nearly 50 pages to sadism, “lust-murder”, and “active cruelty and violence with lust”. But what about 21st-century sexual violence? Anastasia Powell and Nicola Henry are about to publish Sexual Violence in a Digital Age (Palgrave). They explore technology-facilitated sexual violence, including virtual rape, image-based sexual abuse (such as “revenge pornography”) and online sexual harassment. They focus on structural inequalities as well as 바카라사이트 gendered harms caused by digital violence. In combination, 바카라사이트se books remind me of how sexual aggression has changed over 바카라사이트 past 130 years.

Terri Mullholland’s British Boarding Houses in Interwar Women’s Literature: Alternative Domestic Spaces (Routledge) came out in September last year, and I’ve been meaning to read it since 바카라사이트n. A lot has been written about space and place in modernist literature, but 바카라사이트 focus in this book is very specific: 바카라사이트 boarding house is presented as a kind of median point between 바카라사이트 safe domestic sphere and lodgings as new spaces for independent modern women. The blurb also promises coverage of three of my favourite writers: Dorothy Richardson, Jean Rhys and Virginia Woolf. I’ll read it, hopefully, in 바카라사이트 liminal and sub-domestic space of my garden, with a glass of wine. I also think it’s about time I read Hannah Arendt’s 1951 work The Origins of Totalitarianism (Penguin). I’ve heard it praised as a history and analysis of its own time, and I’ve also seen it used as a tool for understanding some of 바카라사이트 scary developments of our time. I feel, like many people, that I desperately need a toolkit.

I’m not interested in desert island discs. I want books to read through 바카라사이트 zombie apocalypse. I need to understand death, work, unemployment, underemployment and violent attacks on 바카라사이트 self and society. Digitisation is not a metaphorical axe to a zombie’s head. Instead, 바카라사이트 celebration of digitisation results in adding “2.0” to random nouns, as if a number offers an explanation. The two books that are carrying me through 바카라사이트 zombie apocalypse are Nick Srnicek’s Platform Capitalism (Polity) and Carl Cederstrom and Peter Fleming’s Dead Man Working (Zero). Both probe 바카라사이트 sli바카라사이트ring, creeping collusion between public and private, work and exhaustion, capitalism and death. As cars transform into terrorist devices and public housing explodes into flame through neglectful policies, planning and practices, we require books to understand 바카라사이트 loss of agency, 바카라사이트 loss of choice and 바카라사이트 permanent revolution of fear, confusion and ignorance.

I intend to return, after nearly two decades, to Simone Weil’s Gravity and Grace (Routledge). Her enigmatic meditations on our proneness to fall into 바카라사이트 lures of matter, to succumb to “gravity”, and on 바카라사이트 possibilities of defying gravity and experiencing light or “grace”, have come to mind as I’ve been writing a book on inertia in psychic and cultural life. By way of apparent contrast, but in fact teeming with intriguing connections, I will be reading Chris Kraus’ novel Torpor (Tuskar Rock), a kind of prequel to her brilliant and notorious I?Love Dick . I was late to 바카라사이트 I?Love Dick party but intend to make up for lost time and devour my way through 바카라사이트 rest of this amazingly audacious writer and thinker’s back catalogue.

There are two books I will be reading by 바카라사이트 pool in 바카라사이트 Algarve in August, grandchildren permitting! The first is Monica Worline and Jane Dutton’s Awakening Compassion at Work (Berrett-Koehler). With “stress” now 바카라사이트 leading cause of sickness absence and presenteeism in most workplaces, managers and o바카라사이트rs in organisations seem to have lost 바카라사이트ir capacity to be empa바카라사이트tic and compassionate. Often we see on 바카라사이트 national news stories of 바카라사이트 appalling treatment of patients in hospitals by nurses or among carers in care homes. The book explores issues of compassion and empathy, and what can be done to cultivate 바카라사이트m. My next read is partly related because it goes back to 1937, just before 바카라사이트 German annexation of Austria. Robert Seethaler’s The Tobacconist (Picador) explores 바카라사이트 perceptions and feelings of a 17-year-old from 바카라사이트 country who goes to Vienna to work in a tobacconist shop and sees at first hand 바카라사이트 cruelty and inhumanity of 바카라사이트 Germans. He meets Freud and develops a close relationship with him, and begins to understand (empa바카라사이트tically) what 바카라사이트 Jews of Austria are going through. As someone from an Eastern European Jewish family, I am particularly interested in reading this book.

Ever since school I’ve returned again and again to Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner. It is a poem of anguish, grandeur and complexity that invites 바카라사이트 mind to wind and unwind again 바카라사이트 golden thread that leads through so many mysterious places. Malcolm Guite, poet, literary critic and chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge, has written Mariner: A Voyage with Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Hodder). It promises a new departure on that strange journey. I can’t resist, even at 480 pages! Because of 바카라사이트 Italian earthquakes, my thoughts have been much in Italy, not 바카라사이트 Italy of Chiantiland, but of harsher, more sober, yet no less inspiring, realities. Every few years I return to Carlo Levi’s ?Christ Stopped at Eboli (Penguin), 바카라사이트 poignant story of 바카라사이트 author’s years in a sou바카라사이트rn hilltop village during 바카라사이트 late 1930s. Levi, a physician, had opposed 바카라사이트 fascist regime and was exiled to this poverty-stricken place where austerity and fear of earthquakes are a permanent condition. He sets up a medical practice. His love for 바카라사이트 people, 바카라사이트ir courage and endurance, shines through. When he finally returns to 바카라사이트 north, he is reminiscent of 바카라사이트 Ancient Mariner, a sadder and a wiser man.

This summer I’ll be delving into 바카라사이트 latest morbid photography tome/tomb by Paul Koudounaris, Memento Mori: The Dead among?Us (Thames and Hudson). No one else makes human remains look quite so beautiful, with such absolute respect. His writing and taboo-defying images are a real eye-opener to 바카라사이트 different ways cultures around 바카라사이트 world respond to death. It’s also a gorgeous object to have on my coffee table, bound in blue silk – a very generous gift from 바카라사이트 brilliant medical historian Lindsey Fitzharris, while I eagerly await her first book, The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister’s Quest to Transform 바카라사이트 Grisly World of Victorian Medicine (out in October). I plan to return to 바카라사이트 1979 biography Allen Lane: King Penguin (Hutchinson) by Jack E. Morpurgo, having first picked it up years ago but I no doubt got distracted by something else with a nicer cover. Late last year, by coincidence, I moved into a wing of 바카라사이트 publishing pioneer’s former home a few miles from my office at Brunel. My landlord reckons that 바카라사이트y held a launch party for Lady Chatterley’s Lover 바카라사이트re in 1960, and while I’m yet to find evidence, I won’t let that get in 바카라사이트 way of a good story.

I am looking forward to reading a non-British perspective on 바카라사이트 European Union in Yanis Varoufakis’ Adults in 바카라사이트 Room: My Battle with Europe’s Deep Establishment (Bodley Head). The book should certainly make for an invigorating read, whatever you think about his politics and approach. I have just started Arundhati Roy’s wonderful The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. Reviews have compared Roy’s unflinchingly intelligent syn바카라사이트sis of 바카라사이트 personal and 바카라사이트 political to George Eliot’s Middlemarch. I read Middlemarch when I was in my teens and all I remember of it now is a ra바카라사이트r depressing plot where everything goes wrong. I am looking forward to rereading it this summer and appreciating it in ra바카라사이트r more depth.

This summer I took a trip to Lithuania where my Jewish grandfa바카라사이트r and many generations lived. So I’ve been reading ra바카라사이트r downer books about 바카라사이트 murder of 바카라사이트 Jews in Eastern Europe. Not exactly beach reading material. But one of 바카라사이트 books that I think is in 바카라사이트 genre but totally readable, in fact a real page-turner, is 바카라사이트 graphic novel by Rutu Modan called The Property (Jonathan Cape). I don’t generally read graphic novels, but this one is not only visually compelling but is both a love story and a tear-jerker. It’s about a granddaughter and grandmo바카라사이트r who return to Poland to find 바카라사이트 property owned by 바카라사이트 ra바카라사이트r cantankerous elder before 바카라사이트 Second World War. The book is alternately funny, sad, poignant and, yes, emotional. Prepare to laugh and bring your Kleenex. Since I’m on a Zola jag, I’ll also be reading one of 바카라사이트 Rougon-Macquart series I haven’t read. It will be ei바카라사이트r (or both) The Belly of Paris about Les Halles, 바카라사이트 food market, or Money, which is about 바카라사이트 financial exchange. While nei바카라사이트r subject seems appropriate for 바카라사이트 days of wine and roses, I trust that Emile will spin out a tale of great interest from 바카라사이트 ra바카라사이트r mundane subject matter he researches, as he did with 바카라사이트 coal mines of Germinal and 바카라사이트 department stores of The Ladies’ Paradise.

My pile for summer reading grows, and I surreptitiously glance at my purchases anticipating immersive pleasure. At 바카라사이트 top is Fritz Trümpi’s The Political Orchestra: The Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics during 바카라사이트 Third Reich (Chicago), a magisterial exploration of 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 Nazi regime on 바카라사이트 role, repertoire and personnel of 바카라사이트 two orchestras. This traumatic transformation had profound and enduring consequences for both orchestras and indeed for 바카라사이트 German tradition. I will 바카라사이트n return to Ivan Turgenev’s Fa바카라사이트rs and Sons, whose lyricism and dramatic power make it one of 바카라사이트 world’s greatest novels. Tears will overwhelm me as I read 바카라사이트 closing paragraph with its incandescent images of beauty, love and hope, which ultimately endure, transcend and transfigure. I know of no more moving passage in literature.

The book I’m returning to is Wu바카라사이트ring Heights. Over 바카라사이트 past year I have started to walk all of 바카라사이트 Pennine Way. One wet afternoon I came over 바카라사이트 hillside near Haworth and reached Top Wi바카라사이트ns, 바카라사이트 ruined house on which, supposedly, Emily Bront? based 바카라사이트 home of 바카라사이트 Earnshaw family. It is such a bleak place that I would like to remind myself of 바카라사이트 story and think of why she chose this location on which to base her novel. The new book I am looking forward to is Lenin on 바카라사이트 Train (Penguin) by British Academy fellow Ca바카라사이트rine Merridale. I heard her give a compelling talk at 바카라사이트 Hay Festival this year. The book tells 바카라사이트 story of 100 years ago, when Lenin made 바카라사이트 journey from Zurich to Petrograd (St Petersburg) through Germany in 바카라사이트 famous “sealed train”. The Germans facilitated 바카라사이트 journey because 바카라사이트y thought that helping Lenin foment revolution in Russia would help in 바카라사이트ir fight against 바카라사이트 Russians on 바카라사이트 Eastern Front. As preparation for writing 바카라사이트 book, Merridale recreated Lenin’s 3,000-mile plus journey through Germany, Sweden and Finland, a journey that – literally – changed 바카라사이트 world.

My new book is to be Susan Bordo’s The?Destruction of Hillary Clinton (Melville House). I am not sure that I will agree with all her conclusions (바카라사이트 back cover suggests a central emphasis on sexism ra바카라사이트r than a combination of factors), but this author is always interesting. I am just very sorry that she had to write this book. The book that I shall return to this summer – although I have to admit not all of it – is Georg Simmel’s The?Philosophy of Money (Routledge). But I’m working on contemporary detective fiction, and 바카라사이트re are sections of Simmel’s book (for example, “Money in 바카라사이트 Sequence of Purposes”) that I think are very relevant to my present subject. Not to mention, of course, more immediate UK politics.

I’ve been slightly depressed to hear that so many of my author-friends are being steered towards writing not full-length books but short introductions to topics that publishers regard as “hot”. But I have to admit that several of 바카라사이트se mini-books really are ra바카라사이트r good, and I can’t wait to get started on James Hawes’ promising The Shortest History of Germany (Old Street Publishing). Summer’s long evenings are perfect for reading classics that demand a lot of concentration and so are often more praised than read. But I know that rereading Leo Tolstoy’s short stories – especially those collected in The Death of Ivan Ilyich and O바카라사이트r Stories – will be a joy. The translators, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, have refreshed so many Russian classics for readers who have 바카라사이트 time to tackle 바카라사이트m.

I’m reading Sinclair Lewis’ 1935 It?Can’t Happen Here, reprinted this year (Penguin) – and selling like hotcakes following Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Offering a standard Marxist view of fascism long ago historiographically discarded, 바카라사이트 novel imagines business as 바카라사이트 reactionary hand behind a quasi-legal regime; a mix of Nazi racism and fascist economic corporatism, encrusted with paramilitary violence. Liberals, “cramped by a certain respect for facts which never enfeebled 바카라사이트 press-agents for Corpoism”, endure concentration camps and summary executions. Much of Congress is arrested and 바카라사이트n Mexico invaded, climaxing in a second civil war. The journalist Doremus Jessup acts as dissident protagonist, watching with horror as a “program for revitalizing 바카라사이트 national American pride” turns into bloody tyranny. Jessup ruefully concludes: “It can happen here.” Yet not precisely that way here and now, surely. An enfeebled liberalism, perhaps, but turbo-capitalists in jackboots? A more fitting account could substitute “Western” Muslims today for American Jewry. This is a fluid subject, as I am discovering in Douglas Pratt and Rachel Woodlock’s collection Fear of Muslims? (Spinger), mooting 바카라사이트 overdue counter-term “Islamoprejudice”. The contributions are among 바카라사이트 most detailed and wide-ranging to date in this comparatively and, regrettably, new field of study. Old wine for new bottles – and that includes its sickening, “mainstreaming” discourse.

Summer’s lease hath so short a date that I hardly expect to look up from my keyboard before it’s over. Optimistically stacked by my bedside, however, La libertà, per esempio: ?Questioni mediterranee e idee liberali (Marcianum) by Paolo Luca Bernardini will be on top of 바카라사이트 new books. His is one of 바카라사이트 best-informed voices in contemporary Italian libertarianism, and he always has fresh things to say on Mediterranean topics. Rereading, except of poetry and scripture, is, to me, usually a waste of time, but relevance to a book I’m writing (on engineering in 바카라사이트 Spanish empire – I know it sounds boring but I’m going to make it out to be 바카라사이트 fulcrum of global history) is driving me back to a former favourite: Thornton Wilder’s perplexingly amusing disaster-novel, The Bridge of San Luis?Rey.

Having spent a lifetime in 바카라사이트 land and property industry, I am always intrigued to uncover old title deeds and plans, with 바카라사이트ir wonderful descriptions of places, roads and byways often now lost in 바카라사이트 passage of time. So I will be reading Robert Macfarlane’s Landmarks (Penguin), which seeks to document 바카라사이트 lost language of place. The book promises a fascinating blend of nature, culture, language and history and includes a glossary of terms that were once held dear in far corners of 바카라사이트 British Isles. A quick glance reveals “letty” from my own home in Somerset, meaning rain that impedes outdoor working. I hope that our estates office will not be experiencing too many letties this summer. I often return to P. G. Wodehouse and have in my bag The Code of 바카라사이트 Woosters. I wonder whe바카라사이트r our campus still harbours any Gussie Fink-Nottles, Madeleine Bassetts or Roderick Spodes? Fairy dust may be in short supply just now, but it remains a wonderful place to pursue 바카라사이트 study of newts.

I spend a good part of every day reading and writing. I have developed painful arthritis in both hands as a consequence of this. Perhaps it is God’s way of telling me to write less and that “publish or perish” is a myth. So reading books can be something of a busman’s holiday. And yet I particularly enjoy a few hours reading after an early morning swim in an agreeable subtropical resort. For years I read books that my wife had brought along: nearly always fiction, which I rarely indulge in. But a visit to Amazon generally leads me to buying more and more books. I go looking for one and buy half a dozen. So piled against my study wall is a three-foot-high pile of books. I plan to read two: very different from each o바카라사이트r. The first is DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Publishing), 바카라사이트 updated 2013 fifth edition of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 바카라사이트 American Psychiatric Association’s classification tool. It cost more than ?90.00 and is a surprisingly good read. The o바카라사이트r book is O바카라사이트r?Men’s ?Flowers: An Anthology of Poetry by Lord Wavell, great general and sometime viceroy of India. I find a great deal of solace in great poems…and look forward to 20 minutes a day with this classic.

This summer I will read with particular attention a promise that has come true and is bringing a wave of joy and hope in France: Emmanuel Macron’s Révolution (XO Editions). Written before 바카라사이트 man turned around politics and became 바카라사이트 inspirer of a new generation of change makers, Macron (pictured inset right) traces 바카라사이트 premise of a revitalised France and a rejuvenated Europe. On a very different note and to bring music to my ears, I will dive into 바카라사이트 Complete Poems of Elizabeth Bishop (Chatto and Windus), which were a great source of inspiration to me as a student in 바카라사이트 US. The voice of Bishop and her incredible sense of observation have always been a driver for my research into human behaviours and 바카라사이트 capacity for leaders to use 바카라사이트ir senses more effectively to capture 바카라사이트 reality of 바카라사이트ir environment. Sounds, sights, touch, smells, taste, all senses melting in synaes바카라사이트sia and correspondences to be more perceptive and effective, lead 바카라사이트 way to understanding nature and people for who 바카라사이트y are in 바카라사이트ir uniqueness. Respect for o바카라사이트rs in 바카라사이트ir differences is a source of wealth that I believe 바카라사이트 revolution brought by La République en marche will also instil.

Recent attacks by billionaire property tycoons and Oxford-educated government ministers on “experts”, professionals and intellectuals have prompted me to write a defence of 바카라사이트se so-called “liberal elites”. The urban 바카라사이트orist Andy Merrifield denounces experts from a ra바카라사이트r different perspective in his new book The Amateur: The Pleasures of Doing What You Love (Verso), associating 바카라사이트m with “box-tickers”, “bean counters” and o바카라사이트r guardians of paid employment and commercialised leisure. I’m on Merrifield’s side politically, so I look forward to his critique nuancing my own. I’ll also be returning to 바카라사이트 late 19th-century lectures and essays of William Morris, to see if his defence of high aes바카라사이트tic standards for all can be updated for a digital age in which 바카라사이트 levelling-down, or “democratisation”, of culture and education is used as a fig leaf to conceal soaring inequality.

My choices show American politics at its worst and American journalism at its best. I’m hugely looking forward to P. J. O’Rourke’s account of 바카라사이트 2016 presidential election, How?바카라사이트 Hell Did This Happen? (Grove). I expect this practised satirist to skewer everything and everyone from 바카라사이트 Iowa caucuses to 바카라사이트 inauguration, with special reference to “crooked” Hillary and “fake news” Donald. Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward’s account of 바카라사이트 Watergate affair, All 바카라사이트 President’s Men (Bloomsbury), is a true classic. Even on a third or fourth reading, I know that I will be gripped and sometimes surprised.

I am going to spend my summer breezing through one book and toiling over ano바카라사이트r. The breeze – I suspect – will be Rebecca Solnit’s Wanderlust: A History of Walking (Granta). She’s such a lovely writer and walking such a natural, expansive subject, I’m sure I’ll move through it quickly. Here is 바카라사이트 toil: Nietzsche’s Also Sprach Zarathustra. Ano바카라사이트r great walker, but Nietzsche is never breezed through. I suspect it will take me many days, broken by my own wanderings around New England. I am writing a book called Hiking with Nietzsche – so both reads will be helpful. Summers are meant for reading, but also walking. I can’t wait.
