The novel takes the form of the diary of mathematician D-503, who, to his shock, experiences the most disruptive emotion imaginable: love. At once satirical and sobering—and now available in a powerful new translation—"We" is both a rediscovered classic and a work of tremendous relevance to our own times.

The poems in ''Naturalism, an annotated bibliography'' survey the totemic elements of rural life, a world where wells go dry, rains flood brooks and basements, and maintenance only ever slows the inevitable decline. But there’s resilience as well, in garlic scapes, rosehips, winter birds, old houses and books, and love. Goodfellow’s spare style and sensitivity to the way(...)

Summary:
The poems in ''Naturalism, an annotated bibliography'' survey the totemic elements of rural life, a world where wells go dry, rains flood brooks and basements, and maintenance only ever slows the inevitable decline. But there’s resilience as well, in garlic scapes, rosehips, winter birds, old houses and books, and love. Goodfellow’s spare style and sensitivity to the way people, objects, and places fuse together through time give these poems the surefootedness of a thing rooted in the earth.

Summary:
With audacious dexterity, David Howes weaves together topics ranging from love and beauty magic in Papua New Guinea to nasal repression in Freudian psychology and from the erasure and recovery of the senses in contemporary ethnography to the specter of the body in Marx. Through this eclectic and penetrating exploration of the relationship between sensory experience and cultural expression, Sensual Relations contests the conventional exclusion of sensuality from intellectual inquiry and reclaims sensation as a fundamental domain of social theory.
