'I loved her ruthless, impatient thinking, her ferocious attention' Adam Thirlwell, New Statesman Books of the Year 2025From one of the most talented young thinkers in the US, a warm, funny and intellectually dazzling call for excess, ecstasy and disorder in an age of sterility and minimalismTIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024NEW YORK TIMES' 100 MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2024PROSPECT BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2024'Scintillating writing of breadth and power' Observer'Seriously precise and very funny' Telegraph'A radical and important book' James WoodOur culture's embrace of minimalism and uniformity has left our souls impoverished. Decluttering has reduced our living spaces to empty non-places; the mindfulness trend has emptied our minds of the thoughts that make us who we are; and the regularization of sex has drained it of unpredictability and therefore true eroticism.In an age of oppressive sterility and limitation, All Things Are Too Small is a refreshing and much-needed tonic: a soul cry for derangement, imbalance, obsession, ravishment and disorder.

TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024NEW YORK TIMES' 100 MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2024'Bracing and brilliant ... scintillating writing of breadth and power' Kate Kellaway, Observer'A radical and important book' James Wood, author of Serious NoticingSeriously precise ... and very funny' TelegraphIn All Things Are Too Small, virtuoso young critic and philosopher Becca Rothfeld turns her clear gaze to a series of interconnected cultural and political questions - about aesthetics, taste, literature, equality, power and sexuality. In a healthy culture, she argues, economic security allows for wild extremes of aesthetic experimentation, yet in our society we've got it flipped. The gap between rich and poor yawns hideously wide, while we compensate with misguided attempts to effect equality in love and art, where it does not belong.Our culture's embrace of minimalism has left our souls impoverished: decluttering has reduced our living spaces to empty non-places; the mindfulness trend has emptied our minds of the thoughts that make us who we are; the regularization of sex has drained it of unpredictability and therefore true eroticism; and our quest for balance has yielded fictions whose protagonists aspire to excise their appetites.As intellectually illuminating as it is gloriously carnal and earthy, All Things Are Too Small is a much needed tonic in a world of oppressive sterility and limitation, and a soul cry for derangement, imbalance, obsession, ravishment and disorder.

“A Meteor of Intelligent Substance”“Something was Missing in our Culture, and Here It Is”“Liberties sure is needed in these times.”In a short time since its launch, Liberties - A Journal of Culture and Politics, a quarterly, has become essential reading for those engaged in the cultural and political issues and causes of our time. The writers in Liberties offer deep experience from across borders, national identities, political affiliations and artistic achievements. As the introductory essay in the inaugural edition noted, “At this journal we are betting on what used to be called the common reader, who would rather reflect than belong and asks of our intellectual life more than a choice between orthodoxies.”Each issue of Liberties features original in-depth essays and compelling new poetry from some of the world's most significant writers, artists, and scholars, as well as introducing new talent, to inspire and impact the intellectual and creative lifeblood of today’s culture and politics. This spring issue of Liberties includes: Giles Kepel on the Murder of Samuel PatyIngrid Rowland’s Long Live the Classics!Vladimir Kara-Murza Surviving Putin’s PoisonsPaul Starr on Reckoning with National Failure from CovidBecca Rothfeld on Today's Sanctimony LiteratureEnrique Krauze explores What is Latin America?William Deresiewicz on Why Great Visual Art Forces Us to Think; Benjamin Moser on Rediscovering Frans HalsDavid Nirenberg on What We Can Learn from Earlier PlaguesAgnes Callard’s view of Romance without Love, Love without RomanceMitchell Abidor looks back to “Social Media” in 1895 to Understand a Crowd’s “Wisdom”The Tallis Scholars' Peter Phillips on the Secrets of JosquinDavid Thomson on Movies’ Poetic DesirePoetry from Henri Cole, Chaim Nachman Bialik, and Paul Muldoon Leon Wieseltier (editor) asks "Where Are the Americans?” And Celeste Marcus (managing editor) writes for a Pluralistic Heart.
