As the pandemic sweeps through Paris in March 2020, the writer HC faces a choice: stay in Paris or flee to the countryside? The weight of historical responses bears down on herthose of her ancestors and Jewish writers during moments of persecution.

Lendle gives us the story of this great adventurer

With its receipt

evokes “an entire life in the echo of my tongue” in his first collection of poems

and knowledge would be treated as humanity’s common property

with sobriety and force

gathers pieces related to his central concerns—semiotics

a successful doctor and melancholy immigrant

Enzensberger the essayist works in the mode of Montaigne

When Beirut explodes

Drifting between melancholic and witty

leading to disastrous results

and desire are staged there
