«Come può l'attenzione che si presenta all'arte diventare un atto d'amore, o qualcosa di simile?» È la domanda da cui nasce questa raccolta di saggi, conversazioni e riflessioni di Maggie Nelson sui temi che hanno plasmato il suo percorso intellettuale e umano nell'arco di oltre vent'anni. Come l'amore è una descrizione delle illuminazioni che l'incontro con l'«altro» può donare a ognuno di noi e assieme l'autoritratto di una stagione della vita animata da una caotica e vorace curiosità.

"The Philosophy of Furniture" is an essay written by American author Edgar Allan Poe and published in 1840. It presents Poe's theories on interior decorating. Poe begins by suggesting that the English are the "supreme" examples of internal decoration, above the Italians, French, Chinese, Scotch, Dutch, Spanish and Russians. "Yankees", he says, "are preposterous". He blames this American failing on a lack of aristocracy by blood, having instead "an aristocracy of dollars".

"The Poetic Principle" is an essay by Edgar Allan Poe, written near the end of his life and published posthumously in 1850, the year after his death. It is a work of literary criticism, in which Poe presents his literary theory. It is based on a series of lectures Poe had given late in his lifetime. The essay argues that a poem should be written "for a poem's sake" and that the ultimate goal of art is aesthetic.

Author’s NoteLaughter is one of the most misunderstood gifts we carry. We often treat it as weightless —something spontaneous, harmless, and free of consequence. We assume it arrives without responsibility. Yet laughter is powerful. It can bridge strangers, soften grief, dissolve tension, and remind us —sometimes urgently —that we are still alive. But it can also wound quietly. It can expose vulnerability without consent. It can cross lines we only recognize once we are standing on the other side of them. This book was born in that tension. Prank Everyone Except the Dead is not a manual.

These events took place across five decades when a culture of public patriotism was especially pronounced for immigrant musicians.
