It's 100% honest and 100% Dylan.'The thing that my videos lack is backstory. Granular moments or revelations that deserve to be enjoyed in a more personal way. As a trans human sharing my vulnerabilities, I have to be very sure that I am ready to disclose sensitive topics. My videos have free range for anyone, including the haters, to enjoy. This book would be a safety blanket to invite my true allies under, to share the personal and scary truth of my life as a trans influencer with the right crowd.'

Albert Camus's lively journals from his eventful visits to the United States and South America in the 1940s, available again in a new translation. In March 1946, the young Albert Camus crossed from Le Havre to New York. Though he was virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, all that was about to change--The Stranger, his first book translated into English, would soon make him a literary star. By 1949, when he set out on a tour of South America, Camus was an international celebrity. Camus's journals offer an intimate glimpse into his daily life during these eventful years and showcase his thinking at its most personal--a form of observational writing that the French call choses vues (things seen). Camus's journals from these travels record his impressions, frustrations, joys, and longings. Here are his unguarded first impressions of his surroundings and his encounters with publishers, critics, and members of the New York intelligentsia. Long unavailable in English, the journals have now been expertly retranslated by Ryan Bloom, with a new introduction by Alice Kaplan. Bloom's translation captures the informal, sketch-like quality of Camus's observations--by turns ironic, bitter, cutting, and melancholy--and the quick notes he must have taken after exhausting days of travel and lecturing. Bloom and Kaplan's notes and annotations allow readers to walk beside the existentialist thinker as he experiences changes in his own life and the world around him, all in his inimitable style.

A collection of letters discussing the role of the state in the preservation and promotion of art and culture, by one of India's greatest artists. The seventeen letters in this collection were written by K.G. Subramanyan in response to requests from "various quarters" about matters ranging from the National Policy of Education to the government's seeming preference for erecting statues of dead men and organizing grand Republic Day parades rather than for preserving the myriad threads of cultural tradition and ensuring the survival of the Indian value system against the onslaught of a "Western" lifestyle. As Subramanyan writes in his preface, although he has no proof that any of his views and suggestions translated into practice, the very writing of them was, for him, a process of thinking through a range of issues that pertain not merely to art and aesthetics but to life itself.
