Es ist bei weitem nicht das Schlimmste, was in der Datei (Kleine Anfrage 21/1235) zu lesen ist, aber schaut wohin die Reise gegangen ist, seit der 2024 Kritik am Internationalen Literaturpreis von Othmann und Liebert ⬇️
Bin gespannt wie der Staatsminister für Kultur und Medien reagieren wird.

Love to spend the first week of January putting together my "new books of the year" calendar. I did collect information over the past year, sorted through these, looked at my favourite publishers etc My personal list has 168 titles (lol) but here is a short version:

30 New Publications in 2025 I Am Excited For
Over the past years my preview lists have become more and more extensive and putting together these kind of posts incredibly time consuming (so I never even did my list for the second half of 2024)…

Bluestockings Cooperative is an indispensible feminist bookstore in NYC. It's been a fantastic community space for as long as I can remember.

In all honesty we did not think this story would have such reach! Some ways to support 1️⃣ donate to the shelves (bluestockings.com/free-store or www.paypal.com/US/fundraise...) 2️⃣ check out our members program (withfriends.co/bluestockings) 3️⃣ just spread the word we exist 🩵🩵

Very thankful that you can choose in the settings "alt text required before posting". I always want to include alt text (obviously) and usually, by now, it's an automated part of the process of posting. But just now I got distracted and would have posted without alt text. But fortunately I couldn't!

Carl de Souza's Kaya Days (transl. by Jeffrey Zuckerman) had been on my reading pile for a while and I finally read it. This Mauritian book follows a girl for a night looking for her brother amidst the uproar after a musician had died in police custody.

Miss Major Speaks, which consists of conversations between Miss Major (a Black trans revolutionary as the subtitle says) and Toshio Meronek, is another great book Verso published this year. We really need all the books by trans elders we can get.

Did continue my way through Jasmine Walls' work and read the first book of DC's Vixen: NYC. I am not a huge DC reader but this was very entertaining (and loved the art). Will pick up more of this series.

Monique ("Lesbians are not women.") Wittig's essays (newly published in German translation by Benjamin Dittmann-Bieber and Arabel Summent) written in the 1980s/90s are deeply thought provoking. Yes, there are things I'd criticise but there is a lot to gain here.

There is a current publishing scandal: a white 2024 debut author made Goodreads fake accounts to not only upvote their own book but also gave 1 star reviews to a bunch of fellow 2024 debut novels - all by BPoC authors.
SL Huang shared infos on these latter books - and they sound incredible.

This year in July Marga Minco died at 103. Her debut Het bittere kruid ("Bitter herbs") from 1957 tells about the occupation of the Netherlands in episodes about a Jewish family. The protagonist is the only one who survives in hiding. The story is very close to Minco's own.

Love and Money, Sex and Death by McKenzie Wark is an incredible memoir in letters. In conversation with texts/ thoughts/ art by many other trans people (in particular woman and femmes), McKenzie writes about grief, late(r) transition, political struggles, philosophy. A joy.

Communal Luxury: The Political
Imaginary of the Paris Commune by Kristin Ross might be the first full book I have read on the Paris Commune and while it was really interesting it was also pretty dense and I think, I should have read a different introduction first.
