Working Toward Truth
If truth is a battlefield in every age, our current era has pushed this battlefield to strange and troubling extremes, in which claims of truth are confronted by baroque spectacles of power propped up by “alternative facts” and “Social Truth.” The relationship between political power and lies is of course not new, but the combination of digital media and unchecked capitalism, among other things, has resulted in its almost exponential intensificat…

Juan Gelman's Open Letters
A este oficio me obligan los dolores ajenos
This essay commemorates the poetic work of Juan Gelman on the occasion of his death in January 2014.

The Work of Literature and the Unworking of Community or Writing in Eltit's Lumperica
THE TRUTH THAT WE LIVE IN URGENT TIMES HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR AS LONG as anyone can remember. Under such circumstances, sitting back and reading a book, a work of literature, might seem to be ultimately apolitical, dismissive of the world and its very immediate problems—poverty, war, oppression. It would be like the figure of Borges at the end of "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," when the world is being taken over by a particularly nefarious kind of i…
