In sixteen extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people, how attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought, how historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War. Widely recognized as one of the most original and important thinkers of our age, Chomsky's trenchant analysis of current events is a breath of fresh air in a world more and more polluted by mainstream media.

La monografía definitiva sobre la obra del escultor, artista de instalaciones y pionero del Arte Povera Luciano FabroLuciano Fabro fue miembro fundador y luego crítico principal de Arte Povera, el movimiento artístico basado en materiales y experiencias que comenzó en Italia a fines de la década de 1960. Continuó siendo exhibido internacionalmente, convirtiéndose en el primer artista del grupo en recibir una importante retrospectiva en los EE. UU., en el Museo de Arte Moderno de San Francisco en 1992. Fabro fue un artista controvertido, pero aún así un favorito de la crítica: en 2018 el arte líder la publicación The Brooklyn Rail dedicó un número entero a Fabro, y la crítica del New York Times, Roberta Smith, escribió que Fabro trató ''la creación artística menos como una profesión y más como un experimento continuo destinado a mantenerse entretenido y al espectador un poco fuera de balance''. Esta monografía completa y muy ilustrada es la primera descripción completa de la vida y carrera de Fabro, escrita por la estimada crítica y curadora Margit Rowell, quien interactuó repetidamente con Fabro en sus últimos años, y se publica con el apoyo y la participación total del patrimonio del artista y galerías internacionales, Paula Cooper (Nueva York), Christian Stein (Milán) y Simon Lee (Londres y Hong Kong).

Dentro de la prolífica obra del hispanista Ralph Hayward Keniston (1883-1970), perteneciente a la generación que en el siglo XX amplía el entendimiento de qué implica enseñar una lengua y abre la docencia del español a la cultura, destaca The Syntax of Castilian Prose (1937), obra originalísima, sin bibliografía, con un poderoso índice (quizá lo más consultado de ella) que alienta la caza de los tesoros lingüísticos del Quinientos, etapa favorita de nuestra cultura y lengua para el celebrado filólogo. Keniston, que principia escribiendo sobre literatura áurea, de Garcilaso a Cervantes, y se inserta después en los estudios de lingüística probabilística, representa la bisagra intelectual del hispanismo estadounidense que desde una concepción decimonónica romantizada de España y de su lengua se abría a una perspectiva más realista y pretendidamente científica, consolidada durante el XX. Asumida esta herencia y también la ruptura de la apuesta por una nueva didáctica, aquí despliega una taxonomía de posibilidades del español del XVI con indicación de su grado mayor o menor de probabilidad a partir de su frecuencia: así, se dan pistas para seguir trabajando en el estudio de estructuras posibles o se informa de datos que pueden ser suficientes para una rápida argumentación sobre cuestiones de español histórico. Inspirada por los trabajos sobre estadística de uso de palabras y listados bibliográficos de utilidad educativa, The Syntax of Castilian Prose significó, como señala Lola Pons en el brillante prólogo a esta edición, un nuevo modelo de libro, cartesiano, ordenado, con la lengua desmenuzada y despiezada taxonómicamente. Aún hoy, el de Keniston sigue siendo un inmejorable y utilísimo manual del que extraer ejemplos, fuente de consulta constante, lectura no lineal pero sí de referencia para la cita de ejemplos de usos morfosintácticos del Quinientos.

The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. And despite his tone of gentle bemusement, Saint-Exupéry pulls off some fine satiric touches, too.

She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally: Ha.
