The feature published here on the APA blog provides a concise overview of some of the fundamental stakes, claims and concerns in my most recent book, Interventions in Contemporary Thought: History, Politics, Aesthetics (Edinburgh University Press, 2016).
The book was published in hardback in the fall, and a paperback edition will be coming out in the spring.
As this is the first time that I have actually replied to an article that spoke to me personally, I may not know the proper protocol. HOwever, I hope that this note reaches you…. As I write this, I am sitting at a restaurant in Rome, Italy experiencing my own existential malaise born perhaps of both a post menopausal crisis and the end(most likely) of a brief, passionate, and very clandestine affair with an Italian man, whom I met four months ago.There is some degree of sadness, but I feel most the “quiet desperation” of a return to my life “as script”. A return to the known of replaced lightbulbs in the bathroom, car repairs, bed linens placed exactly so. Your article gave me the hope and the presence of mind to confront my life and even to the probability of changing my script. Life can be so complicated sometimes, but I will embrace it.
