Provocative and beautifully expressed, BECKETT'S CHILDREN by Michael Coffey is a lyrical blend of personal memoir, father-son dialogue, and literary investigation that probes the works of Irish writer Samuel Beckett and American poet Susan Howe in search of traces of their long-rumored status as father and daughter.
Although Howe has denied the rumor, the possibility that it might be true leads Coffey to a highly original appreciation of her work and a fascinating focus on the dozens of unattended children who wander through Beckett’s oeuvre.
The saga of Coffey’s adult son, at various moments on the run in the Indiana woods or incarcerated, shines light on life without parental connection in a cold America. As an adoptee himself, Coffey looks to literature for traces of his own origin story and lineage, a heritage held in secret by a closed adoption system but which, through books and cultural signs, he has been able to decipher in his own way.

Today is India Independence Day, marking 77 since years the end of British rule and the establishment of an independent Indian nation. The day honors the sacrifices of freedom fighters who struggled for India's independence — but what is happening to the freedom fighters of today in the world's largest democracy?
Alpa Shah's THE INCARCERATIONS tells the remarkable and chilling story of the Bhima Koregaon case, in which 16 human rights defenders (the BK-16) — professors, lawyers, journalists, poets — have been imprisoned, without credible evidence and without trial, as Maoist terrorists.
Essential and urgent, THE INCARCERATIONS reveals how this case is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India.

In WITH ASH ON THEIR FACES, Cathy Otten combines political history with first-hand reporting of ISIS’s genocidal attack on the Yezidi population in northern Iraq in 2014. That summer, ISIS massacred Yezidi men and enslaved women and children, and more than one hundred thousand Yezidis were besieged on Sinjar Mountain.
The headlines have moved on, but thousands of Yezidi women and children remain in captivity, and many more are still displaced. In these pages, Otten challenges common perceptions of Yezidi female victimhood by focusing on stories of resistance passed down by generations. This book is based on Otten's interviews with these survivors, as well as those who smuggled them to safety, painstakingly piecing together their accounts of enslavement.

On its 75th anniversary, here are 5 things you didn't know about NATO...
1. NATO is an unelected and unaccountable institution without any democratic or transparent procedures among its members.
2. Mark Rutte, who will be Secretary General of NATO starting October 2024, displayed utter contempt for the rule of law when he asked “What can we say to make it look like Israel is not committing war crimes?”
3. The NATO Support and Procurement Agency, which lines up weapons deals between manufacturers and governments, has more staff and handles more money than NATO itself, which also raises money from its partners to spend on weapons.
4. The outgoing Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, admitted the expansion of NATO had been central to creating the current conflict in Ukraine.
5. NATO’s warmaking, in violation of the UN Charter, in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Libya has been the opposite of stabilizing. NATO has supported catastrophic and destabilizing wars in places such as Iraq and Palestine.
