Rindell, Susanne

You've Got Mail for a new generation, set in the days of AOL and instant messenger banter,about a freshly engaged editorial assistant who winds up spending her ''summerFridays'' with the person she least expectsSummer 1999: Twentysomething Sawyer is striving to make it in New York. Between her assistant job in publishing, her secret dreams of becoming a writer, and her upcoming wedding to her college boyfriend, her is plate full. Only one problem: She is facing an incrediblylonely summer as her fianc has been spending longer and longer hours at work . . . with an alltooclose female colleague, Kendra.When Kendra's boyfriend, Nick, invites Sawyer to meet up and compare notes about their suspicions, the meeting goes awry. She finds Nick cocky and cynical, and he finds her stuck in her own head. But then Nick seeks out Sawyer online to apologize, and a friendship develops. Soon, Sawyer's lonely summertakes an unexpected turn. She and Nick begin an unofficial ritual—exploring New York City together every summer Friday. From hot dogs on the Staten Island Ferry and Sea Breezes in a muggy East Village bar to swimming at Coney Island, Sawyer feels seen by Nick in a way that surprises her. He pushes her to be braver. To ask for what she wants. Meanwhile, Sawyer draws Nick out of his hard shell, revealing a surprisingly vulnerable side. They both begin living for their Friday afternoons together. But what happens when the summer is over?Summer Fridays is a witty and emotional love letter to New York City that also captures the feeling of being young and starting out, uncertain what to do on your summer Friday. It’s also perfect for readers who remember when ''going online'' meant tying up the phone line, and the timeless thrill of seeing a certain someone’s name in your inbox.

Crowner, Sarah

A comprehensive new survey of Crowner’s multimedia explorations of abstraction and material cultureNew York–based artist Sarah Crowner (born 1974) makes paintings, ceramics, sculptures, installations and theater sets.

Essays by Nikki Columbus, Diego Matos and Ingrid Schaffner discuss Crowner's tileworks, paintings and designs for the stage in depth, showing how she has drawn inspiration from Mexican culture across disciplines and throughout the history of modernism as a whole. A portfolio of images is featured alongside Quinn Latimer’s lyrical narrative poem ''Score for Three Snakes.''

New Radical Enlightenment
Avui -5% en Llibres

Garcés, Marina

Philosophy was born out of discussion, out of the rivalry between world views. From the philosophical ferment of the Enlightenment arose the idea of emancipation, a conflictual perspective which Marina Garcés would have us rethink. New Radical Enlightenment lays out the need for critical dissent as a new beginning for the humanities in apocalyptic times. The productive dissent she envisions is established on the inclusion of multiple perspectives attending to common problems.Our societies are faced with the urgency of combating dogmatism in all its forms. Fundamentalism, authoritarianism, and the struggle of the rich against the poor are returning. We also see dogmatic ways of dealing with science, data, and technology emerging. In the face of this, unfinished philosophy is a bid to make thought exciting once again. It is not a question of nurturing sterile theories. Today's young people need powerful tools for a critical imagination. Leaping out of historicism, the new radical enlightenment arrives to address anew the central problems of contemporary philosophy and place them in a planetary, postcolonial, and feminist framework: a philosophy for a common world.
