Another thorny utopia, Lowry's Community practices a different kind of strategy to the Hideous Bargain: ethical evasion, a too tempting strategy for all of us.

Alameddine's unusual book creates its own rules for reading, bringing us close indoors in a small apartment in Lebanon where an elderly woman lives the quiet final days of alone-ness and translates novels no one will read. Powerful and immersive!

An elderly woman in Lebanon. Does she have the right to live alone, upon her own terms, in her own books? This is my second by Alameddine, and I'm looking forward to its "plotless" existentialism!

Two essays which move reader into discomfiture: how much of what we read and how we think about it is selected to assuage, to cater even to liberal sense of "comfort"?
