Descrição do livro Quando a Companhia das Letras lançou ‘Toda poesia’, em fevereiro de 2013, alguns dos livros ali reunidos – como ‘Caprichos e relaxos’ e ‘Distraídos venceremos’ – estavam fora de catálogo e vinham sendo procurados pelo amplo público leitor de Paulo Leminski há mais de dez anos. Fenômeno semelhante ocorre com as quatro biografias que Leminski escreveu para a Coleção Encanto Radical ao longo da década de 1980; livros como ‘Bashô – a lágrima do peixe’ são raridades, e voltam ao mercado com a reedição de um volume único. Sob o olhar poético e apaixonado de um mesmo admirador, essas quatro trajetórias aparentemente desconexas ganham novas dimensões, criam elos e se complementam, em comunicação permanente com a vida e a obra de seu biógrafo. Trótski é visto como um homem de letras, autor do ‘mais extraordinário livro sobre literatura’ já escrito por um político. Cruz e Sousa é personagem central de um movimento que Leminski chama de ‘underground’ e que muito o influenciaria; o simbolismo. Bashô, antes de se tornar pai do haikai, foi membro da classe samurai. E Jesus é um ‘superpoeta’. Enquanto traz à tona lados de quatro de seus heróis, Leminski revela muito de si mesmo, tão múltiplo e fascinante quanto os biografados, e fornece a seus fãs, em narrativas aliciantes e cheias de estilo, uma gênese de suas principais influências.

There’s a small but vibrant cottage industry of Muslim women writing romance novels, littattafan soyayya, in Northern Nigeria, a region best known for the acts of terrorist group Boko Haram. The writers face off with Islamic censors, and they sell their books in some of the same markets targeted by Boko Haram suicide bombers.  The books are about love and marriage. Some are subversive and speak out against human trafficking and child marriage, while others are submissive, advising women on how best to please their husbands, offering fantasies of escape, and tales of the poor girl marrying the rich man.   Guided by the themes of these novels, “Diagram of the Heart” explores romance, tradition, love and loss in the lives of women in Northern Nigeria.    "Diagram of the Heart" will be released as a photo book on February 11, 2016, published by Red Hook Editions. You can pre-order a copy now and read more about it here.

Most authors give interviews when they’ve been done with their books for more than a year. After the long processes of copyediting, cover-approval, and book-tour scheduling, the actual composition of the book is a distant memory. The following conversation with the novelist Joshua Cohen was conducted last Tuesday, when he was about 40 percent finished with his new book, PCKWCK (his tenth)—and, for a few hours every day this week, the newest novel in existence.

The Library of Babel is a place for scholars to do research, for artists and writers to seek inspiration, for anyone with curiosity or a sense of humor to reflect on the weirdness of existence - in short, it’s just like any other library. If completed, it would contain every possible combination of 1,312,000 characters, including lower case letters, space, comma, and period. Thus, it would contain every book that ever has been written, and every book that ever could be - including every play, every song, every scientific paper, every legal decision, every constitution, every piece of scripture, and so on. At present it contains 1,024,640 volumes.
