We are working on a remembrance, but we cannot overstate the influence of #FredricJameson on Duke University Press. We have made his articles in our journals freely available through October 31. "Postmodernism" is our all-time bestselling book. ow.ly/kGvQ50TtqGz
Cover of Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism by Fredric Jameson. The cover is black with the title in bold white, underlined lettering at the top and the author name at the bottom. A stylized image of brightly-colored shoes is between the text.

A while ago, I found a strange and beautiful literary artifact—the missing tape recordings containing the drafts of Reinaldo Arenas’s last book, Before Night Falls. I wrote about this treasure hunt (and the treasure) for @nybooks online! nybooks.com/online/2024/09/2…

The Basement Tapes | Julia Kornberg

Reinaldo Arenas dedicated most of his books to telling and retelling his life story. The first time was in his debut novel, Singing from the Well (1967),

last year, I'd given up on the idea of having a book. This year, I turned 55, and I am both shocked & happy to have a collection coming out in one month! I'd be very grateful if you'd consider pre-ordering @stillhousepress:stillhousepress.org/stillhou…

Dreamed of publishing work in @coppernickel for years. So happy this new poem, "Jubilee," came to rest there. What an issue, esp. the cento-like composite on the back cover! (Ignore the haze of my camera, my souvenir from falling into a river in Iceland--another story.) 🌿
