Survivors Elsewhere

from Liberating Libraries · host Conspiracy of Equality

Tash Aw's We, The Survivors (2019) is all about exploitation and the toll of development on workers. Vladamir Lorchenkov's The Good Life Elsewhere (2008) looks at workers who have been made useless and disposable. They're two sides to the same capitalist system, and they show us some important things in this moment when work (especially the underpaid 'essential' kind that's keeping us alive) and hope are on our minds. Fantastic interview with Tash Aw. Max Haiven on the Crisis of Imagination

He is the CEO and founder of Explicit A Room Of Your Own Max Moorhouse I’m Max Moorhouse, and I curate people’s personal libraries for a living. Fairly recently I came to a realisation - that the stories people were telling about how they imagined their dream space and what books they would surround themselves with - said something fairly profound about who they imagined themselves to be. They were weaving their memories with their aspirations and telling me a story about who they thought they were. In A Room of Your Own, I’ll be inviting guests to explore the books and the spaces that they’ve loved. I’ll help them to construct their own dream library, and act as architect, designer and curator, inviting you to listen in on our rambling consultation on books, life and memories. Explicit
