Een ongemakkelijke plek
In april 2021 reisden auteur Jonathan Littell en fotograaf Antoine d’Agata naar Kyiv om onderzoek te doen voor een nieuw boek in opdracht van het Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Centre. Babi Jar was de plek waar in 1941 meer dan 33.000 Joden door de nazi’s werden vermoord. Maar voordat het boek voltooid kon worden, begon op 24 februari 2022 de Russische invasie van Oekraïne. Het werd onmogelijk om alleen over Babi Jar te schrijven. De bezoeken aan Oekraïne om overlevenden, soldaten en vrienden te interviewen resulteerden in een grimmig bewijs van opeengestapelde verschrikkingen, de echo’s van de geschiedenis en een falend collectief geheugen.

The Damp and the Dry
How do fascists think? An acclaimed novelists looks at the life and writing of a prominent Nazi collaborator to investigate the links between psychology, language, and action on the far right. Léon Degrelle was Belgium’s highest-ranking Nazi collaborator and a fanatical Waffen-SS officer who fought on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. Admired by Hitler and Mussolini and later sheltered by Franco in Spain, Degrelle embodied the figure of the fascist true believer long after the defeat of the Third Reich. In a richly illustrated text, Jonathan Littell here subjects Degrelle’s main autobiographical writings, his memoir The Russian Campaign, to a forensic reading, bringing it into confrontation with the work of a renowned writer on psychology and fascism, Klaus Theweleit, who provides an afterword to the book. Littell dissects Degrelle’s prose to expose what he terms an “anatomy of fascist discourse”: a recurring set of metaphors, obsessions, and psychic structures through which fascist ideology understands the body, violence, purity, and the enemy. The Damp and the Dry moves beyond biography to reveal how fascism thinks and speaks. It is a disturbing and incisive study of authoritarian mentality—one that illuminates not only the history of twentieth-century fascism, but its enduring rhetorical and psychological appeal.

L' aggressione russa
'La polemica è un genere per il quale nutro la massima diffidenza, e che pratico con parsimonia. Non ho mai pensato che il fatto di aver scritto dei libri, di essere considerato, per certi versi, un personaggio pubblico, desse il diritto di sbandierare le proprie opinioni ai quattro venti. Ma a volte è indispensabile; a volte il silenzio equivale alla complicità. Quando un Paese ne aggredisce un altro, come la Russia ha aggredito l'Ucraina il 24 febbraio 2022, tacere sarebbe fare il gioco dell'aggressore, sarebbe tradire l'aggredito. Ed è tanto più vero quando hai passato anni in entrambi i Paesi, quando hai amici in tutti e due. Per gli uni, come per gli altri, è importante scegliere da che parte stare.' (J. L.)

The Damp and the Dry
A Brief Incursion into Fascist TerritoryJonathan Littell was born in 1967 in New York City and grew up in France. He worked for many years in humanitarian emergency operations in Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, D. R. Congo, and other countries. His literary debut, The Kindly Ones (HarperCollins 2009), won the Prix Goncourt when it was first published in France as Les Bienveillantes in 2006, and has since been translated into nearly 40 languages. His other works available in English include The Fata Morgana Books (Two Lines Press 2013), Triptych: Three Studies after Francis Bacon (Notting Hill Editions 2013), and Syrian Notebooks: Inside the Homs Uprising (Verso 2015). His first feature documentary film, Wrong Elements, was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2016. Klaus Theweleit is a German sociologist. He is best known for his two-volume study of the psychology of Nazism, Male Fantasies (University of Minnesota Press, 1987–89), first published in Germany as Männerphantasien in 1977–78.

Los relatos de Fata Morgana
'Mientras dormía, me decía: habría que escribir sobre esto y nada más, ni sobre la gente ni sobre mí, ni sobre la ausencia ni sobre la presencia, ni sobre la vida ni sobre la muerte, ni sobre las cosas vistas u oídas, ni sobre el amor, ni sobre el tiempo. Además, todo tenía ya su forma.' De 2007 a 2012, Jonathan Littell publicó los cuatro relatos que integran este volumen en la pequeña y arriesgada editorial francesa Fata Morgana y que ahora se traducen por primera vez al español. Fueron cuatro bellos libros breves casi clandestinos, de los que nunca apareció ninguna reseña: el laboratorio perfecto para un escritor que, como Kafka, piensa que 'nunca puede hacerse el silencio alrededor de lo que uno escribe'. Este lento período de desarrollo finalmente llevó a la escritura y publicación, también en Galaxia Gutenberg, de Una vieja historia, una nueva versión salvajemente expandida de la última historia de este volumen.

Tríptico : tres estudios sobre Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon es una de las figuras icónicas del arte del siglo xx, un artista que transformó la manera en que vemos y experimentamos el cuerpo humano. A la manera de los trípticos de Bacon, Jonathan Littell, apasionado de la obra del pintor, divide su libro en tres partes, a la vez independientes y complementarias. En la primera, describe el día que pasa en el museo del Prado mirando las telas de Bacon, no muy lejos de las de Velázquez y Goya. La segunda revela las correspondencias ocultas entre las figuras que Bacon pinta a lo largo de su carrera. Los retratos de su amante, George Dryer, pintados poco antes del suicidio de este en 1971, son el hilo conductor de esta reflexión. La tercera parte pone en perspectiva la pintura de Bacon y la de los iconos, con el fin de abordar la cuestión de la representación de la verdad en la pintura. El libro incluye un centenar de ilustraciones escogidas por Jonathan Littell.

Rebel Life
Photographs from inside the Lord's Resistance ArmyThe Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), led by the infamous Joseph Kony, was active in northern Uganda from the second half of the 1980s. The rebel group became notorious for the use of extreme violence, in particular its large-scale abductions of children. Rebel Lives is a visual story about life inside the rebel movement: based on photographs taken by LRA commanders between 1994 and 2004, this book documents life within violent circumstances, and depicts the rebels as they wanted to be seen among themselves and by the outside world. Kristof Titeca, Associate Professor in Development Studies at the University of Antwerp and expert on the LRA, collected this material, and used it to trace the photographed (former) rebels. Together with Congolese photographer Georges Senga, he travelled back to photograph the former rebels in their current context. With text contributions from Jonathan Littell, Harriet Anena, Rein Deslé, and Christine Oryema Lalobo.
