Reading

2020/06/29 Learning to Die in the Anthropocene
Roy Scranton ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 

I have grown to really appreciate concise, idea-packed writing. This book meets those criteria. It takes an existential view to the global climate crisis, asking us to confront the fact that it might already be too late to save what we have as a precondition to meaningful action. What I...

2020/06/19 Speak, Memory
Vladimir Nabokov ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪

2020/06/13 Critical Trauma Studies: Understanding Violence, Conflict, and Memory in Everyday Life
eds. Monica J. Capser and Eric Wertheimer ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 

I’ve been thinking a lot about individual and collective trauma recently. Given the extremity of our experiences - the pandemic, historic and ongoing U.S. racism and racial violence, the displacements and escalating disasters of the climate crisis, and so on, how can we begin to approach the ways that trauma...

2020/05/29 Design Justice: Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need
Sasha Costanza-Chock ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 

Design Justice is a an extremely useful book. The word ‘design’ has a long history behind it and over the last several decades it has become predominantly associated in most people’s minds with the work of mid-century modern product designers, and more recently with Apple and Silicon Valley-flavored human centered...

2020/05/20 Captive Prince (Captive Prince #1)

Liu Cixin
Ken Liu ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2020/04/02 The Sense of Order (Wrightsman Lectures 9)
E.H. Gombrich ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
A very thoughtful and comprehensive read on the global (!) history and cultural functioning and evolution of decoration and design. As Gombrich says, "the historian is not a critic and should not aspire to be one," but the book did at times become discursive and hard to follow due to its lack of a strong unifying framework. Very worth the time; I will never look at wallpaper or picture frames the same way again.

2019/06/14 The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood
James Gleick ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
Ironically, the main reason to read this book is not because it is incredibly informative but because it is astoundingly well written.
2019/09/23 Vattu: The Name & the Mark
Evan Dahm ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2019/09/02 And Then the World Blew Up

2019/08/03 My Struggle: Book Three
Karl Ove Knausgård
Don Barlett ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2019/07/20 Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
John Perkins ✪ ✪ 
The problem at the core of this book is trust. Do dynamics and even overt American foreign policy strategies like the ones he describes exist? Sure. Do I believe that literal "economic hit men" under the command of the NSA exist, and that Perkins was personally the key player in the economic colonization of half a dozen countries around the world? I am very dubious. And if that is poetic license, what else is?

Perkins might have done well to take the advice he says he got from one publisher, and edited this as fiction in the spirit of John Grisham - this is actually pretty good writing and it would have been more honest.

Oh, and he is super weird about women.
2019/07/10 The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America
Richard Rothstein ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This is an outstanding work of legal and historical scholarship that calls bullshit on complacent progressivism at a rate of approximately once per sentence for three hundred straight pages. But it's not personal, it's just a precondition for change. Read this in a single sitting.
2013/07/10 White Teeth
Zadie Smith ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2019/07/05 Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
Adrienne Maree Brown ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2019/06/11 The Globalizing Cities Reader
Roger Keil
Xuefei Ren, Neil Brenner ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This is a comprehensive and thoughtful survey of the scholarship and debate on the topics of the "world city," "global city," and later variants and interventions. These ideas seek to understand cities less as places and more as nodes in global economic (and other) systems and to understand local growth, politics, and inequities in that frame.

I slogged straight through but this book is well-organized and will serve as a handy reference manual going forward!
2019/06/08 Stray Bullets, Vol. 2: Somewhere Out West
David Lapham ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2019/06/07 Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses, Vol. 1

Alexander Steele
Gotham Writers' Workshop ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
2019/05/05 State-Building in Kosovo: Democracy, Corruption and the EU in the Balkans
Andrea Lorenzo Capussela ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
A fascinating and genteelly polemical insider's account of the EU and UN missions to build a modern democracy in Kosovo. I found this really useful as a window into the worlds of diplomacy and international affairs at their most stilted. I'm sure I missed a lot of nuance and maybe some pot shots but.. neat.
2019/04/28 The Songs of Trees: Stories from Nature's Great Connectors
David George Haskell ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This is a beautifully written book that is worth reading for its aesthetics alone. Haskell deploys words and imagery in a candidly poetic way that most contemporary fiction writers (maybe outside of Latin America?) don't allow themselves to do. I also appreciate his refusal to treat science, culture, and ethics as separate concerns. I was frustrated often by the attendant lack of focus: is this book about trees? Anthropology? Philosophy? Ecology? In the end this book is a very long and beautiful tone poem.. and a bit of a mess.
2019/04/11 Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City
Derek S. Hyra ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This is a thoughtful and important look at gentrification and neighborhood transformation in DC. It suffers badly from trying to pose as ethnography when it is actually more like an anthology of editorial essays. It also suffers from Hyra's insistence on coining phrases like "Cappuccino City" and "living the wire" that aren't, or don't appear to be, well connected to his research and his repeated claims to be advancing whole fields of academic research, such as intersectionality, in short chapters. That being said I would have gladly read an edition of this urgently needed book that was twice as long - especially if the extra page count were filled by quotes from the actual residents he spoke with.
2019/04/06 The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia
Piers Vitebsky ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
Amazing anthropological/ethnographic writing and a great read in combination with Donna Haraway's When Species Meet.
2019/03/19 Goodnight Punpun Omnibus, Vol. 1
Inio Asano ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
Good, sweet, and true!
2019/03/16 Intersectionality
Patricia Hill Collins
Sirma Bilge ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
A good overview that also presents some of the areas of emergence and contestation in the field. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of specificity about the *how* of intersectional praxis.
2019/03/12 The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter
David Sax ✪ 
What a frustratingly bad book on such an interesting and important topic. Entire chapters are given over to marketers from companies like Moleskine talking about how "there's just something special the feel of paper" etc, on repeated but unsupported arguments that digital technology is inherently alienating, and on a strongly implied but unexplored (e.g. in the title) assertion that some kind of groundswell of analog technology is happening as a result. He also spends approximately one sentence defining his terms: what exactly is meant by analog and by digital? In the end he drives away from his childhood summer camp in the warm glow of nostalgia, opting for a Neil Young song on the radio in preference to streaming "digital" music, his windows down to let in the summer breeze. The irony is that the broadcast equipment, the radio in his car, and probably the car itself are all largely digital equipment. Oh and no, IDEO did not invent human centered design. Ugh.
2019/03/01 The Death and Life of Great American Cities
Jane Jacobs ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This book fundamentally changed how I look at both cities and power. Wow.
2019/03/09 When Species Meet
Donna J. Haraway ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
Did I secretly read this book to give me air cover to watch animal odd-couple videos? Maybe. Did it reconfigure my model of self in the process? Yes.
2019/02/14 Why Not Eat Insects?

Mike Cooley
David F. Noble ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This book fundamentally changed how I view the historical position of design relative to movements for social change. Definitely to be read as polemic rather than an academic study!

Daniel Reid ✪ ✪ 
The value of Chinese and various other non-Western medical traditions shines through despite the author's bizarre and repeated assertions that AIDS is caused by power lines. Also, a bit dated in its insistence on pitting Eastern and Western medicine against one another in some sort of grudge match. Ho hum. Those reservations aside, Reid does a good job covering a huge amount of material briskly - this is a decent entry point into the world of holistic medicine.

This book is interesting at a number of levels. First, it is published and distributed for free by its author, ref:

http://www.brownpaperpublishing.com/Abstract/Abstract.html

But the book itself is strange in that it is so immersive, despite the fact that we have almost no access to what is happening outside the narrator's head. It sits somewhere between [b:Fear and Loathing|7745|Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream|Hunter S.

2008/11/20 Drawn & Quarterly Showcase: Book One
Chris Oliveros
Kevin Huizenga, Nicolas Robel ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
I was a bit tredidatious as I cracked this thing open: after my experiences with "What is the What" and the U2 discography, I was a little concerned that the content wouldn't rise to the hype. Instead, I was confronted by humble works by both Huizenga and Robel that were both disarming and sweet. Equally legible to both nerds and others.
2008/11/20 The Complete Crumb Comics, Vol. 8: Featuring the Death of Fritz the Cat
Robert Crumb ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
Now (in contrast to Vol. 1) this is Crumb! I have an iron stomach, and even I was offended. Genre-defining art meets genre-defining egocentrism. Que brillante!
2008/10/30 The Complete Crumb Comics, Vol. 1: The Early Years of Bitter Struggle
Robert Crumb
Gary Groth, Robert Fiore, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Marty Pahls, Marc Arsenault, Audu Paden, Coco Shinomiya, Dale Crain ✪ ✪ 
So. It turns out that when the subtitle says "The Early Years of Bitter Struggle," it isn't kidding. This is a collection of neonatal comics from when Crumb was in high school. I'm not too proud to admit that I finished the whole thing, but I'm sure my interest was predicated on disturbing heights of idolatry, rather than the actual contents of the book.
2008/11/20 The Complete Buddy Bradley Stories from Hate Comics, Vol. 1: Buddy Does Seattle, 1990-1994
Peter Bagge
Everett True ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
Beautiful, crafted artwork in the tradition of R. Crumb, complimented by self-aware social satire limited only by the occasional fit of directionlessness. Good stuff!
2008/10/30 Ali and Nino
Kurban Said ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ 
I've finally (belatedly) finished Jason's pick for book club.

Ali and Nino is poetic, un-apologetically exotic, and (subsidiary only to those other two qualities) thought provoking in its refusal to conform to modern tropes on the relationship between East and West.

Extremely good, and worth anyone's time.

2008/09/10 Slow Food: The Case for Taste (Arts and Traditions of the Table)
Carlo Petrini
William McCuaig, Alice Waters ✪ ✪ ✪ 
This book is worthwhile as an overview of Slow Food and what it's philosophical and practical ramifications have been in Italy and around the world. Unfortunately, at times it strays beyond the bounds of its argumentative essay format into the domain of marketing material; it becomes difficult in certain sections to know how much to trust the claims being made.

I would recommend this (after all) modestly sized, innocuous little book to anyone trying to understand what Slow Food is all about - or to develop their ideas on how the current local food movement might be expanded for the world stage.
