Just wanted to note here that my translation of Georges Didi-Huberman's
Survival of the Fireflies is coming out in just a few weeks!
Here's part of the blurb:
In this book, through his readings of Dante, Pasolini, Walter Benjamin, and others, Georges Didi-Huberman seeks again to understand the strange, minor light of fireflies, the signals of small beings in search of love [...] Their flickering presence serves as a counterforce to the blinding sovereign power that Giorgio Agamben calls The Kingdom and the Glory, that artificial brilliance that once surrounded dictators and today emanates from every screen. In this timely reflection, much needed in our time of excessive light, Didi-Huberman’s Survival of the Fireflies offers a humble yet powerful image of individual hope and desire: the firefly-image.The release date is September 4th, but
it's available for pre-order from Amazon now.
