Common Life Av Stephane Bouquet

<p><b>A wry, cinematic tour through multiple forms: the poem, the vignette, the play—all set in our laughably lamentable contemporary world.</b></p><p>In three poems, one play, and three short stories, Stéphane Bouquet’s <i>Common Life</i> offers a lively, searching vision of contemporary life, politics, and sociality. At a moment at which the fabric of everyday social life is increasingly threatened across the globe, this book is a necessary exercise of the literary imagination: what, it asks, does it mean to inhabit the world together today? With humor and sincerity, <i>Common Life</i> imagines the utopias of collectivity, friendship and love that might enable hope for the present and the future.</p>
