Your Disaster poems by HANIF ABDURRAQIB dazzles.as.it.cries.out.. n his much-anticipated follow-up to The I Crown Ain’t Worth Much, poet, essayist, music critic, and New York Times bestselling author Hanif Abdurraqib has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders them a different version of themselves than the one they knew. It’s a book about a mother’s death, and finally admitting that Michael Jordan pushed off in the ’98 finals. It’s about forgiveness, and how none of the author’s black friends wanted to listen to “Don’t Stop Believin’.” It’s about wrestling with histories, personal and shared, and how black people can write about flowers at a time like this. Abdurraqib writes across different tones and registers, with humor and sadness, and uses touchstones from the world outside—from Marvin Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbor’s dogs—to create a mirror, inside of which every angle presents a new possibility.

Key to Treehouse Living is the adventure of A William Tyce, a boy without parents, who grows up near a river in the rural Midwest. In a glossary-style list, he imparts his particular wisdom on subjects ranging from ASPHALT PATHS, BETTA FISH, and MULLET to MORTAL BETRAYAL, NIHILISM, and REVELATION. His improbable quest— to create a reference volume specific to his existence—takes him on a journey down the river by raft (see MYSTICAL VISION, see NAVIGATING BIG RIVERS BY NIGHT). He seeks to discover how his mother died (see ABSENCE) and find reasons for his father’s disappearance (see UNCERTAINTY, see VANITY). But as he goes about defining his changing world, all kinds of extraordinary and wonderful things happen to him.

Reed has made a marvelous debut.” —kirkus • “Dark yet uplifting . This novel’s true joy may be the wonder it radiates about a world as beautiful as it is cruel. See ‘OVERCOME BY EMOTION.’” —booklist • “Inventive, illuminating . Reed offers an impressionistic and profound exploration of self and consciousness.” —publishers weekly • “A Key to Treehouse Living—it’s terrific, funny, poignant and just weird enough, tran- scends that great form. I ate it up.” —jess walter • “A Key to Treehouse Living scrambles up all the customary codes of the novel to piece together, at last, the moving story of a lost boy search- ing out his place in the world. What appears as all indexed coda turns out to be a well-told tale and, more vitally for me, the accumulation of enormous incidental pleasures.”—joshua ferris • “Disorienting, weirdly wise, indescribably transparent, impossibly recognizable. Fun, too.” —joy williams • “Huckleberry Finn advanced out of antebellum doldrums into the poetic modern perverse, with the same charm. Subtle, daring, brilliant.” —padgett powell • “A Key to Tree- house Living’s precocious autodidact manages his abandonment at the world’s hands by remember- ing that courage might be the ability to not think too long about the worst that could happen. A moving and funny and impressive debut.” —jim shepard • “Powered in part by longing and a need to make odd associations add up, this very appealing novel employs jelly beans and gypsies, tree forts and rafts, and a character known as El Hondero to trace the odd conjuring that this narra- tor brings us in on. A memorable debut.” —amy hempel • “A beautiful book. William Tyce is a narrator as compelling as Mark Haddon’s Christopher John Francis Boone and Jonathan Safran Foer’s Oskar Schell.” —gavriel savit • “An unforgettable character and a spellbinding story that both breaks your heart in small ways and then re-assembles it, over and over. It’s a novel unlike anything else, and its impact lingers after the final page.” —molly parent, POINT REYES BOOKS • “Refreshing and illuminat- ing and necessary in these troubled times—a novel that you’ll find yourself coming back to if only to feel grounded and human again.” —javier ramirez, THE BOOK TABLE • “A Key to Treehouse Living is revelatory, a literary lighthouse that forges new routes of understanding. A roadmap so that we might understand, in clearer terms, how to transverse our terrifying, wonderful world.” —rachel kaplan, AVID BOOKSHOP 7 PRAISE FOR THINGS WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT WHEN I WAS A GIRL “In Things We Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl, Jeannie Vanasco has done something extraordinary. She explodes rape culture at the level of language, shows us how we are trapped and how we might make ourselves free. This is a brilliant book, an astonishingly fierce inquiry into the places language won’t go.” —EMILY GEMINDER, Dead Girls “With matchless grit and a vibrant mind, Jeannie Vanasco performs an absorbing autopsy on a friend- ship that ended in rape. Things We Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl cuts through the silence of deep betrayal, gives contour to the aching space between forgiveness and absolution, and offers a living testament to the endless wreckage of sexual assault.” —AMY JO BURNS, Cinderland “Unflinching in her honesty and approach, Vanasco interrogates boundaries further shaping and re- shaping memoir as we know it.

Pamela Jean Bettis, Ph.D., Chair Paula Groves Price, Ph.D. John Joseph Lupinacci, Ph.D. Anthony Gordon Rud Jr., Ph.D. Francene T. Watson, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT This project has truly been a labor of love, as it takes a village to write a dissertation. I would first like to thank my parents. Without them, none of this would be possible. I would like to thank my dad, Cleveland Gilmore for inviting me into the Black Study through jazz. It is through jazz, I developed the identity of being an Edtiste. I would like to thank my mom, Rosita Faulkner, for showing me how to refuse and what mundane refusal looks like as a daily practice. It was her refusal that helped guide me away from doing traditional social science research. How dope is it to say that your parents made the dissertation? Very dope! While the academy might recognize and acknowledge me as the first Ph.D. in my family, my mom and dad will always be the first doctors in my eyes.

Sellars shows, these things are a world away from the vision of a pleasant life developed by Epicurus and his followers, who were more concerned with mental pleasures and avoiding pain.

In vivid, elegant prose, Sellars walks us through the history of Epicureanism from a private garden on the edge of ancient Athens to the streets of ancient Rome, to explore a completely different way of thinking about the pleasures of friendship, our place in the world and the meaning of death.

  • BAM Guest Curator at Large Hanif Abdurraqib
    BAM names Hanif Abdurraqib as Guest Curator at Large In this newly created post, Abdurraqib will program music and envision cross-genre performance January 27, 2021/Brooklyn, NY—BAM is pleased to announce Hanif Abdurraqib as guest curator at large beginning January 2021. Abdurraqib will collaborate with BAM’s programming teams to curate music engagements and envision special, long-term projects. He brings a rich background transcending poetry, music, cultural criticism and Black performance. “Evolving what the public understands as music performance has interested me for a long time. I am more invested in performance that is visually dynamic, or that spans genres and generations, and makes use of the natural world,” said Abdurraqib. “The pandemic has helped expand my imagining of live music, and I know it has expanded the imagination of music-makers globally. I’m excited to use this role as a way to connect those adjacent imaginations. I’m also eager to feature Black artists—both young artists who are defining and shaping the future of sound and performance, and others I consider living ancestors.” “Working with Hanif pushes forward our effort to broaden BAM’s curatorial voices,” said BAM’s Artistic Director, David Binder. “In Hanif’s books, podcasts, and articles, he has introduced us to and chronicled musicians and artists working at the intersections of musical genres and performance. We’re excited to follow Hanif to new, adventurous musical and artistic landscapes as a means to connect with artists who are speaking to the way we live now.” BAM continues to present a wide range of virtual programming and is preparing to reopen all of its stages and screens in 2021.

Abdurraqib shines a light on how Black artists have shaped—and been shaped by—American culture . and his prose is reliably razor-sharp. Filled with nuance and lyricism, Abdurraqib’s luminous survey is stunning.”—Publishers Weekly Feb 22, 2021/Brooklyn, NY— Writer and BAM Guest Curator at Large Hanif Abdurraqib joins a special guest in a conversation about Black performance to celebrate his new book, A Little Devil in America (March 30, 2021, Random House). This event is part of Unbound, a series celebrating new book releases co-presented by BAM and Greenlight Bookstore. Hanif Abdurraqib has written a profound and lasting reflection on how Black performance is inextricably woven into the fabric of American culture. Each moment in every performance he examines—whether it’s the twenty-seven seconds in “Gimme Shelter” in which Merry Clayton wails the words “rape, murder,” a schoolyard fistfight, a dance marathon, or the instant in a game of spades right after the cards are dealt—has layers of resonance in Black and white cultures, the politics of American empire, and Abdurraqib’s own personal history of love, grief, and performance.
