All that pent up terror and rage

Dodie Bellamy

Plague Widow

A stupid tweet by a nobody, meant as a parody, somehow goes viral and the internet offers up death threats.

Driving to the Castro, Bee Reaved feels hyper emotional, as she often does in the car, Nick Cave’s Ghosteen on repeat, and she thinks—this is what it’s like to live without hope. Six months after Kevin’s death, friends left her to fare for herself. Other widows warned her this would happen, that everybody would disappear before she was ready. One widow she no longer talks to said, “Wait and see, you’re going to have a total breakdown.” Now, with the...

Meine Mutter lacht

Ich bereite mich auf ihren Tod vor. Wie machst du das, fragt jemand. Ich versuche, mir mich ohne sie vorzustellen. Und ich denke, das wird gehen. Nicht für sie. Für mich. Oder das Gegenteil. Aber anscheinend kann man sich nicht wirklich vorbereiten, also vergeude ich meine Zeit. Sie hat schreckliche Lebenslust. Und du? Ich...

»Es begann am Arsch der Welt.«

Ich meine immer noch Ledernacht zu hören, den alten deutschen Juden, wie er behauptet, Christus sei nicht gekreuzigt, sondern mit Schuhabsätzen zermatscht worden, wodurch jegliche Wiederauferstehung ziemlich unwahrscheinlich werde. Sobald er betrunken war, rief er von einem Ende der Straße zum anderen, von einem Ende des Viertels zum anderen seine Überzeugung...

"Curriculum Vitae in Pictures“

Maria Zinfert (ed.)

Kracauer. Photographic Archive

The book tells the story of Lili and Siegfried Kracauer’s close working relationship – from the early 1930s following their marriage in Germany, to exile in Paris and the war and post-war years in the USA.

Kracauer. Photographic Archive presents largely unknown material from the estate of the German-American theorist of film and photography, Siegfried Kracauer and his wife and assistant Elisabeth, known as Lili. The single and group portraits, still lifes, street scenes and landscapes collected in this book all come from the estate of Siegfried Kracauer. Published here for the first time, they are an extensive and representative selection from the enlargements, contact sheets and rolls of film originally archived by Lili Kracauer. With...
