SUMMARY:Bass\, Hirshfield\, + Howe: A Benefit for SHE
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Bass: “Bass shows us that we are as radiant as we are ephemeral\, that in transience glistens resilient history and the remarkable fluidity of connection. Following her musings on suicide and generosity\, desire and repetition—it becomes lucidly clear that Bass is not only a poet but also a philosopher and a storyteller.” —Briana Shemroske\, Booklist \nJane Hirshfield: Jane Hirshfield’s poetry speaks to the central issues of human existence—desire and loss\, impermanence and beauty\, the many dimensions of our connection with others and the wider community of creatures and objects with which we share our lives. Demonstrating with quiet authority what it means to awaken into the full capacities of attention\, her work sets forth a hard-won affirmation of our human fate. \nMarie Howe: “Marie Howe’s poetry is luminous\, intense\, and eloquent\, rooted in an abundant inner life. Her long\, deep-breathing lines address the mysteries of flesh and spirit\, in terms accessible only to a woman who is very much of our time and yet still in touch with the sacred.” —Stanley Kunitz \nAnd Kim Rosen\, on behalf of the S.H.E. College Fund

SUMMARY:Pola Oloixarac
DESCRIPTION:Argentinian writer Pola Oloixarac in conversation about her first novel translated into English\, Savage Theories. \n\nPraise for Savage Theories \n“A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac’s wit and ambition are evident on every page. By comparison\, most other contemporary fiction seems a little dull and simple-minded.” — Hari Kunzru\, author of “Gods Without Men” \n\n“Monstrously clever and terribly funny. More than a debut\, this book is one many of us would spend our lives trying to write.” — Javier Calvo \n\n“Pola Oloixarac’s prose is the great event of the new Argentinian narrative. Her novel is unforgettable\, philosophical and very serene.” — Ricardo Piglia \n\nAbout Savage Theories \nA novel of seduction and madness\, hate and love\, set in the world of Argentinean academia and animated by the spirits of Wittgenstein\, Rousseau\, Nabokov and Bolano. \nRosa Ostreech\, a pseudonym for the novel’s beautiful but self-conscious narrator\, carries around a trilingual edition of Aristotle’s Metaphysics\, struggles with her thesis on violence and culture\, sleeps with a bourgeois former guerrilla\, and pursues her elderly professor with a highly charged blend of eroticism and desperation. Elsewhere on campus\, Pabst and Kamtchowsky tour the underground scene of Buenos Aires\, dabbling in ketamine\, sex\, video games\, and hacking. And in Africa in 1917\, a Dutch anthropologist named Johan van Vliet begins work on a theory that explains human consciousness and civilization by reference to our early primate ancestors animals\, who\, in the process of becominghuman\, spent thousands of years as prey. \n“Savage Theories” wryly explores fear and violence\, war and sex\, eroticism and philosophy. Its complex and flawed characters grapple with a mess of impossible\, visionary theories\, searching for their place in our fragmented digital world.

It is through her now famous employers that Lucia attends Eusapia’s gatherings and eventually falls under the medium’s spell\, leaving the Curie household to travel with her to Italy. Ultimately\, Lucia is placed directly in the crosshairs of faith versus science what is more real\, the glowing substances of the Curie laboratory or the glowing visions that surround the medium during her seance? \nSusan Sherman is the author of The Little Russian.
