Some books you read. Some you want to own. BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FOOLS is a gorgeous hardback built to be held, kept and revisited. Then you open it, and the glamour starts coming apart. Edited by Alan Parry He/Him & Karen Pierce Gonzalez shorturl.at/126Ks
Book cover for Beautiful Little Fools: Poetry of Glamour, Obsession, and the Gilded Age. A stylised Art Deco illustration shows a sharply dressed man in a black tuxedo and a glamorous woman in a black cloche hat, with geometric black, white and burgundy shapes behind them. The title appears in large white lettering on a deep burgundy panel, with The Broken Spine logo at the bottom.

“One such wave hit the northern tip of South America in late August and has begun moving up towards the west coast of the US. That wave could reach California shores within days, and when it does, ocean scientists say it may raise sea levels by up to a foot for months as El Niño.” Oh.

This is one of the most useful tools in the authoritarian toolbox, as it allows for crimes against humanity at scale with a flimsy but depressingly sufficient level of plausible deniability. It’s torture and murder by proxy. US immigration policy right now is a project of ethnic cleansing.
