Little Reunions – Eileen Chang
Chang has been referred to as China’s Joan Didion.

Cosmic Pessimism – Eugene Thacker
Thacker’s text isn’t a monument; it isn’t even a book.
Counternarratives – John Keene
The title Counternarratives can be understood as describing the way these stories actively push back against instituted narratives, forcing fictional flights of the imagination in order to pin down and ascertain certain truths that have been effectively lost.
