Streaming Now: Postcards from the Thing That Is Happening is a collection of hybrid feminist narratives that perfectly captures the many paradoxes of the COVID-19 pandemic, contrasting the seemingly never-ended public catastrophes we experienced as a collective with the isolated lives we carried out in private.
Longlisted for the 2023 PEN Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay
Shifting effortless between social commentary and memoir, glimpses of history and threads of fiction, Stone, a lifelong feminist and longtime contributor to the Village Voice and NPR's Fresh Air, unapologetically observes against the backdrop of a Zoom call the evolution of feminism over the years, the gendered sexual politics underlying Jeffrey Toobin's public disgrace, rage and hope on the heels of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death, and the way we continue to pot and maintain our plants amidst the broken narrative of our world's future. As Stone says, It's good this narrative has been broken. In the narrative that has been broken, people ignored the way so many things they wanted required the suffering of others.
In a time when most of us felt more alone than ever before, Laurie Stone's Streaming Now: Postcards from the Thing That Is Happening is a retroactive but no less timely reminder that we were less alone in our thoughts than we thought.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. HIGHLY ACCLAIMED, MEDIA-SAVVY BACKGROUND: In addition to having served on the board of the National Book Critics Circle; teaching at numerous prestigious writing workshops like the Paris Writers Workshop, the Summer Literary Seminars in St. Petersburg, Russia; and Sarah Lawrence, among others; and earning a number of highly acclaimed grants from institutions such as MacDowell and the New York Foundation for the Arts; Laurie Stone has deep connections to the Village Voice, The Nation and NPR's Fresh Air.WELL-CONNECTED AUTHOR: Stone's most recent book, Everything Is Personal: Notes on Now, was praised and reviewed by the likes of Meg Wolitzner, Daisy Alioto, Mikhail Iossel, and Emily Nussbaum, among others, and her book before that, My Life as an Animal received positive attention from Margo Jefferson, Chris Kraus, and Joan Silber.A TIMELY TOPIC: As the world gradually picks itself up from the wreckage of 2020 and much of 2021, Stone's breezy but poignant observations and analysis come as a much-needed breath of understanding and contextualization for those of us still reeling and processing.A UNIQUE VOICE IN A POPULAR SUBGENRE: Laurie Stone's writing is reminiscent of acclaimed writers Maggie Nelson, Olivia Laing, and Rebecca Solnit, while also maintaining a sharply interesting voice and playing with form that allows even the most distracted of us to appreciate her work. A collection of hybrid feminist narratives on our paradoxically catastrophe-ridden yet mundane lives. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781948340526
