Freeman's Change

Af: John Freeman Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

The Covid-19 pandemic forced many of us to reimagine our homes, work, relationships and adapt to a new way of life - one with far fewer possibilities for interaction. And yet, in this period of intense isolation, we''ve faced dilemmas which are nearly universal. How to love, to care for aging parents, to find a home, attend to a planet in flux, fight for justice. This vast range of experiences is captured by our greatest storytellers, essayists and poets in Freeman''s: Change.

Some pieces explore the small moments that serve as new routines in a life lived at home, as in Joshua Bennett''s essay, where a Coltrane playlist sets the stage for early morning dances with his newborn son. Sometimes, it''s the absence of change that drives us to the edge. In Lina Mounzer''s ''The Gamble,'' a father''s incessant hope for a better life festers and sinks the whole family after they leave Lebanon during the Civil War. And in ''Final Days,'' Sayaka Murata imagines a future without aging, where people must choose how and when they want to die, consulting guidebooks like Let''s Die Naturally! Super Deaths for Adults & The Best Spots.

With new writing from Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Zahia Rahman, Yoko Ogawa, Yasmine El Rashidi, Lina Meruane and Aleksandar Hemon, and featuring work from never-before-published writers like Elizabeth Ayre, Freeman''s: Change opens a window into the many-sided ways we adapt.
