Nouvelle traduction de #Cometbus qui pars sous presse!!

Ça devrait être disponible à l'automne !

Post-Mortem

Ce livre est une vaste étude de l’underground aux États-Unis, un recensement le plus honnête possible de ses réussites et de ses échecs, quelque part entre l’inventaire et l’autopsie. Tel un comptable, Aaron Cometbus étudie les factures en souffrance et remonte à la source de tous les espoirs : peut-on perdurer sans perdre son âme ? Parce que c’était bien là l’objectif : créer des institutions capables de répondre aux besoins de nos communautés, aussi disparates soient-elles.
Passé maître dans l’art du récit et lassé des nobles échecs, l’auteur se penche sur des projets qui ont duré et les étudie d’un œil critique, sans le pinaillage et l’absence de compassion que la gauche radicale, la scène punk et la contre-culture au sens large ont tendance à réserver à ce qui leur est le plus proche. Pourquoi tant de ces projets ont connu un sort épouvantable – souvent le même ? Un tueur en liberté s’en est-il pris à toutes ces institutions chéries ? Et comment faire pour continuer d’expérimenter d’autres manières d’être à l’ombre d’un capitalisme barbare ?

Aaron Cometbus, l’écrivain inconnu le plus connu d’Amérique, édite le fanzine Cometbus depuis 1981. De lui ont notamment été traduits huit livres, dont Double Duce, Un bestiaire de bouquinistes et La Solitude de la menora électrique.

@dr_a What area are you in?

If you're in Seattle, we have some we put out at in Pike Place for people to buy, but the white border on that seems bigger than the ones we usually order.

(Or maybe that *is* what they all actually look like.)

I don’t know how many of y’all have ever actually been in explicitly leftist spaces like #LeftBankBooks in #Seattle or #RedEmmasBookstore in #Baltimore, but there is an aura to these places that instantly relaxes me. The knowledge that these are co-ops and that the folks who work there share my goals of creating a world without capitalism and oppression seeps into me immediately. I’m planning to hit up the #AtlantaRadicalBookfair tomorrow and excited about that.

Staff however not particularly helpful, no section on revolutionary or leftist literature.

I don’t know why I bother when all I want to do is go back to #LeftBankBooks in #Seattle.
