Not even the slightest bit of bias on this one. Suffice it to say I adore this book as much as I adore this lovely man.
Hypochondria by Will Rees is published by Coach House books.
Forest says… Hypochondria as explored by Rees is a philosophical predicament. The book examines a five year period in this writer’s life when he is plagued by mysterious physical symptoms which elude diagnosis. This space of doubt is explored in such a beautiful way examining sources from both literature, medicine and philosophy. How do we name a sensation in our body? Why does the act of doing so bring us solace? Who gets to classify illness and why? It is rich in Cartesian wondering. The poet Anne Carson in a recent interview spoke of the famous quote from René Descartes: “Cogito, er sum” I think therefore I am. Carson highlights the usual omission of the full quote which is “Dubito, Cogito, er sum” I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am. This space of doubt is such a slippery aspect of being that we all experience. This book is so rewarding to read and illuminates what it means to be human.
Forest says… This book is an account of the sexual abuse of Neige Sinno by her stepfather. When I saw Sinno in conversation with Lauren Elkin at the Institut Français early in the year the power of her presence was truly remarkable. She said at one point in the talk: ”the monster was not what happened to me, the monster was that I might not be able to tell the story.” The fact that she does so in such a sober and direct way is truly an incredible feat of memoir writing. This book is a quiet revolution and one I think everyone must read.
Here's one now from Lu. She recommends Autobiography of a Performance: Scores, Essays and Reflections by Bhanu Kapil and Blue Pieta. Published by The 87 Press.
Lu says… This hybrid collection studies performance as a place both unknown and emergent, the rough sketch that's always incomplete, carried over to the next performance, text and choreography as a breathing entity. As the blurb reads, “Pieta and Kapil decompress an interoceptive approach to poetry, memory and ritual awareness: scenes that can’t be written, but only staged.”
Cat says… Out in paperback this year, No Small Thing is a very moving debut. Three generations of women end up living in the same flat. This is more out of desperation than choice, when Mickey and her young daughter, Summer, have to move in with Mickey’s mother, Livia, whom they have been estranged from. They live together for a year and from the beginning we know their time together will end in tragedy. How that unfolds is played out through the eyes of each of the characters from Livia’s long dead Mother and also from Earl, the man who lives above them, benevolently observing them as he waters his plants and looks after his cat.
Two more recs from Enya:)
DARRYL by JACKIE ESS
Jackie Ess’ novel Darryl is hilarious and bizarre, one of my favourite reads of this year. Set in the bohemian town of Eugene, Oregon, this novel follows Darryl, a man whose identity is firmly based around the fact that other men fuck his wife while he watches. Darryl has very little else to do, living comfortably of an inheritance (which the people around him seem to abuse), other than to fixate upon his own desires, his identity as a man, and upon his existence in general. He flits across different states and identities – sexual states, drug induced states, meditative states – and overly identifies with them in a state of magical thinking as quickly as he abandons them. Although often a depiction of a rather sad man, he can be strangely insightful and offer a poignant window into the searching quest of life’s meaning that we all often seek. Would say it’s comparable to My Year of Rest and Relaxation, though much more weird, political and queer. 💄
MOOD MUSIC by LIZ PELLY
If you haven’t had enough reason to delete Spotify this year then music journalist Liz Pelly’s book will finally do the job. It’s an extremely well researched and depressing read on the shady dealings between streaming apps and major labels, the proliferation of AI music (and investment of AI music by such platforms), union busting, and investment in war. More than a call to delete Spotify, Pelly’s book calls into question our relationship with music consumption as a whole. It demonstrates that Spotify does not care about music exploration, creativity and genuine discovery but is a model solely based on profit with the aim for passive music to be played out in the background 24/7. See this book as a call to arms to engage with music like you do books, not just clicking passively onto things which match your ‘mood’ but by actively searching for sounds that alter your mood, and challenge your tastes! There’s so much out there! 💿
Today we have a recommendation from So. They have chosen We Do Not Part by Han Kang, translated by e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah-Morris.
So says… Snow, trees, families and memories in old photographs and remembered recipes: We Do Not Part is a devastating and all-consuming immersion in the Jeju uprising and its brutal suppression by Korean government forces, and in the small acts of caring resistance by generations of women in one family. The book is an intimate conversation between two documentary-making colleagues, which feels reflected in the translation collaboration between e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah-Morris who move brilliantly between historical registers and local dialects, giving English-language readers a sense of the tensions and inheritances within this multi-generational history of a marginalised community. A tender, stringent contemplation of what it takes to have connection and commitment in the face of political violence, and why it’s all we have.

Next up is The Wastes by Roy Claire Potter, published by Book Works.
Cat says… After the death of her mother the character in The Wastes tells the story of her past in fragments and non-chronological reflections. At one point while being unemployed she sneaks into a housemate's bed and sleeps there while she is at work. There is something very queer and subversive about this although there’s no overt suggestion of sex in the retelling of the scene. This book also has a strong connection to place, the north of England is prominent. One of the most memorable episodes is when the character works in a strip bar in Manchester and the title itself represents a strip of countryside in the South Pennines that the protagonist, in her grief, chooses to visit.
Elena says: Not from this year but very good. Najwa Bin Shatwan pumps life into characters that this century has dehumanised to kill and forget. These funny would-be-slapstick-if-they-weren’t-nightmarishly-real vignettes of downtrodden lives in Libya are stunning. When the neighbours’ daughter’s lover falls through the skylight of a regimented female-dominated household in the patriarch’s absence, the internalised violence of the military state is domesticised and simultaneously unravelled…
