Thanks Dominique!

Finally, in Leandro Pasini's chapter, there is an engagement with Schwarz's poetry collection Corações Veteranos (Veteran Hearts) and his play A Lata de Lixo da História (The Dustbin of History), which are little-known if discussed at all in the anglophone world 6/

The book also includes one of the first English translations (by myself and emilio sauri) of the work of Paulo Eduardo Arantes, an influential Brazilian Marxist thinker, a scholar of Hegel, and a long-time interlocutor of Schwarz's writing 5/

Contributors take up the challenge of Schwarz's dialectical criticism by offering new readings of Urdu literature (Sahota), Israeli science fiction (Nir), Chinese political economy (Karl), and Guyanese speculative fiction (Niblett) 4/

The chapters evaluate Schwarz's work in dialogue with the Frankfurt School (Durão; Della Torre), with Antonio Candido's work (Brown), with postcolonial studies (Larsen), and with world-literary studies (Cevasco; López; Waller) 3/

The book discusses key Schwarzian concepts such as 'misplaced ideas', 'volubility' and 'objective form'. In the intro, I provide an overview of Schwarz's intellectual formation, covering his reading of Marx in Brazil, his correspondence with Adorno, and his exile in Paris 2/
