Acerca de este libro electrónico
More Than Things is a collection of essays on a variety of political, cultural, and literary issues, all linked by Margaret Randallês attention to power: its use, misuse, and impact on how we live our lives. There are texts on sex, fashion, food, LGBT rights, automobiles, forgiving, womenês self-image, writing, books, and more. Two of the essays provide glimpses into present-day Cuba and Tunisia. She reflects on her family; her romantic partners; and the revolutionaries, writers, artists, and activists she has known personally and admired: Roque Dalton, Meridel LeSueur, and Hayd?e SantamarÕa.
Randallês writings move in unexpected directions, evoked by the things and ideas in her life: objects picked up around the world, her childrenês names, family heirlooms, artistic practices, dreams, poems, and memories. Elegantly weaving together the personal and the political, More Than Things is a tour de force by one of Americaês most formidable and elegiac writers and political activists.
