Peonies -- The American Exception -- Something to Do -- Suffering like Mel Gibson -- Screengrabs : (After Berger, before the virus). A man with strong hands; A character in a wheelchair in the vestibule; A woman with a little dog; A hovering young man; An elder at the 98 bus stop; A provocation in the park; Postscript: Contempt as a virus -- Intimations.
"Written during the early months of lockdown, Intimations explores ideas and questions prompted by an unprecedented situation. What does it mean to submit to a new reality--or to resist it? How do we compare relative sufferings? What is the relationship between time and work? In our isolation, what do other people mean to us? How do we think about them? What is the ratio of contempt to compassion in a crisis? When an unfamiliar world arrives, what does it reveal about the world that came before it?"-- Provided by publisher.
