Leerjaren in Topeka
In ‘Leerjaren in Topeka’ van Ben Lerner doet Adam Gordon halverwege jaren negentig eindexamen in Topeka, Kansas. Zijn ouders zijn beroemde psychotherapeuten; de gesprekken ’s avonds aan de eettafel zijn indringend. Op school geniet Adam enige faam als debater, als aspirant-dichter en als gewichtheffer. Hij is ook een van de leerlingen die de zonderlinge klasgenoot Darren bij wijze van experiment in hun ‘coole’ kliekje opnemen. Zijn aanwezigheid op een van de tienerbacchanalen die Adam in het weekend bezoekt, zal desastreuze gevolgen hebben. ‘Leerjaren in Topeka’ is het wordingsverhaal van ons huidige politieke moment. Lerner laat op meesterlijke wijze zien hoe het nieuwe rechts zijn oorsprong vindt in de verveling van een Amerikaans voorstedelijk tienerbestaan. Bovenal is dit het verhaal van een Amerikaanse familie: van twee ouders die het beste willen voor hun enig kind, dat op zijn beurt nauwelijks kan wachten om Topeka voorgoed achter zich te laten.

Healing Your Body by God
From Masking to Healing: A New ParadigmImagine you walk into your doctor's office, and instead of getting another prescription to suppress symptoms, you're guided toward helping your body actually repair itself. Imagine learning that your bone-on-bone knee doesn't require an inevitable surgery, but instead can be treated using biologics, compounds found in your own body that are designed to regenerate the damaged tissue. What if this is just something you have to live with became let's reverse this?This isn't wishful thinking. It's happening right now in functional and regenerative medicine clinics around the world. We are literally fighting degeneration and pushing back against disease, one cell at a time.

Le luci
Ben Lerner, uno degli autori più brillanti e sperimentali del panorama letterario contemporaneo, torna con un nuovo libro all'intersezione tra poesia e narrativa. Una costellazione di versi e prose, canzoni e silenzi, effetti sonori e messaggi vocali, per riflettere sul piacere, sui rischi e sull'assurdità dell'arte, sull'essere figli e genitori, sulla vita quotidiana in un mondo percosso da crisi interconnesse e in accelerazione. Eppure, nonostante siano critici e pungenti, nonostante prendano le mosse dalle tenebre in cui è sprofondata la vita politica contemporanea, i versi imprevedibili di Lerner comunicano la promessa futura di un mondo altro. Le parole si dispongono sulla pagina a cascata, danno al testo la configurazione di una fuga, si riorganizzano in una prosa poetica per riflettere sul linguaggio, su ciò che la poesia oggi può suggerirci - insegnarci? - riguardo all'abitare un pianeta disperato che continua a risplendere.

Light While There is Light
A moving poetic memoir about a family on the fringes of religion and society, this unforgettable story about a mother's destructive involvement with Christian fundamentalism pulls the curtain back on the darker side of American religious experience.Keith Waldrop's account of his mid-twentieth-century Midwestern upbringing opens a window on a uniquely American landscape of desolation and desire. Waldrop's mother, central to the book, was a devout Christian, consumed with the question of just what a Christian was. Divorced from his father—a railway man, a Mason, coming and going with the Santa Fe railroad, then gone—she moves from place to place and from sect to sect, suffering migraines and speaking in tongues, teaching piano, and sinking ever deeper into apocalyptic reveries about tribulations lying in store and the advent of Christ's return. Then there are Waldrop's siblings: his sister on the hunt for a husband, and his loud, lounging, scapegrace older brothers in search of the next dollar and a good time, cooking up scams and leaving a mess behind. As for Waldrop, the narrator of what he describes as a fictional memoir, he looks back at those days with a peculiar detachment of his own, compassionate, quietly humorous at times, in light of which the simple facts assume a stark, near hallucinatory clarity, while scenes of life spool by like a home movie to no sound. "Neither the joys of heaven nor hell's worst prospects," Waldrop writes, "provide as forceful a motive as the mere emptiness of the world."In Light While There Is Light, Waldrop writes in a tradition that extends back to Hawthorne, Poe, and Dreiser, as he reveals the fear, madness, and destruction lurking behind the makeshift and make-believe of American life.

Transcription
Finalist for the Orwell Prize Named a Best Book of the Year (So Far) by The New York TimesFrom "the most talented writer of his generation" (Giles Harvey, The New York Times Magazine), a lightning flash of a novel that is at once a gripping emotional drama and a brilliant examination of the devices, digital and literary, we use to store-or to erase-our memories. The narrator of Ben Lerner's new novel has traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, where he is to conduct what will be the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor and the father of his college friend Max. Thomas is a giant in the arts who seems to hail from the future and the past simultaneously and who reenchants the air when he speaks. But the narrator drops his smartphone in the hotel sink. He arrives at Thomas's house with no recording device, a fact he is mysteriously unable to confess.What unfolds from this dreamlike circumstance is the unforgettable story of the triangle formed by Thomas, Max, and the narrator, and an exploration of fathers and sons, male friendship and rivalry, and the challenges of parenting in a burning world. One of the first great novels about the early days of Covid, it is also a brilliant meditation on those technologies that enrich or impoverish our connection to one another, that store or obliterate memory. Full of startling insight, but summoning the intensity of a séance, Lerner's writing shows us how the air is full of messages, full of ghosts. Ultimately, Transcription demonstrates what only a work of fiction can record.

The Lights
A formally ambitious and intensely felt new volume from the author of 10:04 and The Topeka School.The Lights is a constellation of verse and prose, voice mails and vignettes, songs and felt silences, that brings the personal and the collective into startling relation. Sometimes the scale is intimate, quiet, and sometimes the poems are sweeping, Orphic experiments in the animation of our common world. Written over a span of fifteen years, The Lights registers the pleasures, risks, and absurdities of making art and family and meaning against a backdrop of interlocking, accelerating crises, but for all their insight and critique, Lerner's poems ultimately communicate-in their unpredictability, in their intensities-the promise of mysterious sources of lift and illumination.

El Instituto Topeka / The Topeka School
FINALISTA DEL PREMIO PULITZER YDEL NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDGANADORA DELOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZEUNO DE LOS MEJORES DIEZ LIBROS DEL AÑO SEGÚNTHE NEW YORK TIMESYTHE WASHINGTON POSTAdam Gordon, promoción del 97, está en su último año del instituto Topeka, en Kansas. Es uno de los chicos cool del instituto, tiene novia, y es la estrella del equipo de debate. Ahora se espera de él que gane el campeonato nacional. Junto a sus padres psicoterapeutas, forman la típica familia norteamericana de intelectuales, judía y demócrata. La madre, célebre escritora feminista acusada por muchos del síndrome de la envidia del pene, afronta el desafío de criar a su hijo en un lugar dominado por una masculinidad tóxica. El padre, que tiene un don especial para tratar a los llamados #casos perdidos#, logra que Darren Eberheart, sin amigos, sin novia y excluido de cualquier actividad, empiece a socializar, a pesar de las humillaciones de sus compañeros.Desde estas cuatro perspectivas y con un deslumbrante dominio del lenguaje, Ben Lerner nos ofrece el retrato de una generación abrumada por el exceso de bienestar. Galardonada con Los Angeles Times Book Prize y finalista del Pulitzer, esta estimulante y ambiciosa novela nos muestra la antesala del agitado presente estadounidense, marcado por la avalancha informativa, el fracaso de los discursos políticos, los troles, la Nueva Derecha y la crisis de identidad del hombre blanco de clase media.La crítica ha dicho...'El libro más importante, hasta el momento, del escritor con más talento de su generación.' Giles Harvey, The New York Times Magazine'[Esta novela] busca llevar a sus lectores más allá de sus fronteras con su fértil inteligencia y un corazón todavía más exuberante.' Garth Risk Hallberg, The New York Times Book Review'Una novela de investigación intelectual estimulante, percepción social penetrante y profunda sensibilidad psicológica. En la medida en que podamos hablar de un futuro en el presente, creo que el futuro de la novela está aquí.' Sally Rooney'De una inteligencia feroz.' Joumana Khatib, The New York Times Book Review'Ben Lerner ha redefinido lo que significa para un escritor habitar el presente de Estados Unidos al mostrar cómo una familia reconoce su pasado. Aquí, lo personal y lo político están magistralmente conjugados.' Ocean Vuong'Entre los incontables milagros de El instituto Topeka está haber logrado capturar y cuestionar tantas cosas sobre Estado Unidos en menos de trescientas páginas.' Ron Charles, The Washington Post'Un desafío intelectual profundo y vigorizante, una declaración política poderosa.' The Guardian(UK)'Profunda, [#] brillante y absolutamente contemporánea. Divertida y, a ratos, dolorosamente aguda# [Lerner] es un estilista muy dotado en la prosa, teórica y conversacional; nunca aburre ni parlotea, y siempre es puro.' Christine Smallwood, Harper#s
