The garden, as a foundational site of fallness, separation, and loss, is also where we discover desire, becoming, and poiesis. This work of essay-auto-fiction embraces the porous vulnerability of beings appearing in the overflow, the violence and rapture of the ongoing “now.” A city is invaded as a lost child is found, a swastika reanimates itself across the internet, a bullet grazes a girl in parking lot, a Moroccan Jewish grandmother witnesses Operation Torch from a Casablanca rooftop, a boy raised in Yokohama in the aftermath of the atomic blasts grows up to father a baby with a hole in his heart: these moments that resound backwards and at the same time shoot forwards, this “oftening, over-and-overing, and aftering,” is what we call history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essay Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46495022219439,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/8479\/4799\/files\/Bookpictemplate_setborderto1.2pt_68.png?v=1768667560","url":"https:\/\/newmaterialbooks.com\/products\/the-garden","provider":"New Material Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
