Agua Viva
In Água Viva Clarice Lispector aims to 'capture the present'. Her direct, confessional and unfiltered meditations on everything from life and time to perfume and sleep are strange and hypnotic in their emotional power and have been a huge influence on many artists and writers, including one Brazilian musician who read it one hundred and eleven times. Despite its apparent spontaneity, this is a masterly work of art, which rearranges language and plays in the gaps between reality and fiction.

The Passion According to G.H
One of Elena Ferrante's Top 40 Books by Women G.H., a well-to-do Rio sculptress, enters the room of her maid, which is as clear and white 'as in an insane asylum from which dangerous objects have been removed'. There she sees a cockroach - black, dusty, prehistoric - crawling out of the wardrobe and, panicking, slams the door on it. Her irresistible fascination with the dying insect provokes a spiritual crisis, in which she questions her place in the universe and her very identity, propelling her towards an act of shocking transgression. Clarice Lispector's spare, deeply disturbing yet luminous novel transforms language into something otherworldly, and is one of her most unsettling and compelling works. Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America. She was born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and eventually sailed to Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the Wildheart in 1943 when she was just twenty-three, and the next year was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. After living variously in Italy, the UK, Switzerland and the US, in 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil where she wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel, The Hour of the Star.

Sontag
Haar leven en werkHaar radicale gedachtegoed, haar activisme en het verborgen leven achter het publieke masker van Susan Sontag (1933-2004), een groot denker en scherp essayist. Deze biografie leest als een Great American Novel. 'Net als Sontag blijf je achter met een verlangen om “meer te zíén, meer te hóren, meer te vóélen”.' – Niña Weijers, de Groene Amsterdammer 'Indrukwekkend hoe Moser dit volle leven omvat, zonder makkelijke oordelen en zonder de lezer te verliezen.' – Jann Ruyters, Trouw 'Een noodzakelijke aanvulling op het werk van Sontag. Moser spaart haar niet, hij legt haarscherp Sontags tegenstrijdigheden en blinde vlekken bloot.' – Bas Heijne, NRC 'Monumentaal. Het verrassend tedere, onzekere, simpele en intellectueel toegewijde verhaal van een van de meest aanzienlijke literaire figuren die naar de voorgrond trad in het Amerika van de twintigste eeuw.' – Stephen Fry 'Ontzettend fascinerend boek.' – Tjitske Mussche, vpro Boeken

De wereld op zijn kop
Ontmoetingen met de Hollandse meesters‘Ik las meer; ik zag meer; en langzaam kwamen de oude schilderijen tot leven.’ Twintig jaar geleden volgde Benjamin Moser vanuit Amerika zijn geliefde, en vestigde zich in Utrecht. Om Nederland beter te begrijpen dwaalde hij door musea en kwam oog in oog te staan met de fascinerende schilders uit de Gouden Eeuw: de altijd dynamische Rembrandt, de intimiteit van Ter Borch, de mysterieuze Vermeer. Hij stuitte op vragen die deze meesters ook stelden: Waarom maken we kunst, en waarom hebben we haar nodig? Wie, en wat, is een kunstenaar? Hoe kan kunst helpen onszelf te zien, en hoe kan ze ons helpen anderen te zien?

The Upside-Down World
The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer turns his eye to the seventeenth-century Dutch Golden Age Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a love affair to an ancient Dutch town. In order to make sense of this new place, he threw himself into the Dutch museums. Soon, he found himself unearthing the strange, inspiring and sometimes terrifying stories of the artists who shaped one of the most luminous moments in the history of human creativity, the Dutch Golden Age. As he explored the hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress), Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Through their art, he got to know their country, too: from Pieter Saenredam's translucent churches to Paulus Potter's muddy barnyards, and from Pieter de Hooch's cozy hearths to Jacob van Ruisdael's tragic trees. Over the years, Moser found himself on increasingly intimate terms with these centuries-dead artists, and found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions he was. Why do we make art? What is art, anyway - and what is an artist? What does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what does it mean to fail?The Upside-Down World is an invitation to ask these questions, and to turn them on their heads: to look, and then to look again. It is a brilliant, colourful and learned book for anyone, whether lifelong scholar or curious tourist, who has ever felt the lure of the Dutch galleries. It shows us art, and artists, as we have never seen them before.
