Solidarity with 55,000 postal workers. ARP won't be shipping books during the @cupw strike. You can find our books at your local indie bookstore & orders can still be placed directly from our site (thank you!) but please note that they will be filled after the postal strike ends.

More on that big event mondoweiss.net/2024/07/the-f…
At the hotel in Frankfurt there was a publishing convention and every room was taken, parties all night. I didn’t know there were so many book publishers in the world. I was trying to find Crystal Lake Publishing so I could congratulate them on publishing The Great God Pan, one of my favorite books. I thought they might be interested in some of my stories. Unfortunately it was too crowded and I never did find them.

“Montreal couldn’t possibly ask for a sharper literary tribute. I started rereading Accordéon in order to write this, couldn’t put it back down until the last page, and found it even more relevant and resonant than when I first read it in 2016.”

It’s clear cultural institutions can no longer ignore the necessity for and momentum behind this movement; all can contribute by taking up PACBI commitments—just one way for arts orgs to proudly support the longstanding work of Palestinian civil society. instagram.com/p/C-sakKCCYMf/…

“the term ‘book workers’ appeared in citation marks, even in less aggressive pieces written by fellow authors, as if rather than a factual description, the concept was a strange curiosity” redpepper.org.uk/culture-med…

“Part history, part manifesto, Dogged & Destructive exposes the brutality, corruption, & racism at the heart of the policing enterprise and offers us a vision of what we could do instead to create a safe, healthy, & just future.” —Alex S. Vitale @avitale arpbooks.org/product/dogged-…
