Arnhem after Arnhem
The Arnhem and Oosterbeek Civilians Fight for Survival
2022 || Paperback || Robert Stopforth || Brave New Books
Arnhem after Arnhem.
Why this reissue? As a child I experienced the first week of the Battle of Arnhem. On September 25, 1944, our family was granted refugee status. For nine months we and many others roamed the country from haystack to farm, from chicken coop to cowshed, from guest house to paper mill. Travelling on farm carts, handcarts and on foot. And as bonus the bombing, shelling and V-1 missiles.
Returning home to the ruins of the city of Arnhem, the burning and smelly waste in the onc...

Monkeys do not die as lizards
or how to stop the madness of contemporary physics
2022 || Hardcover || Peter Schuttevaar || Brave New Books

Accountable Temporary Expedients
2022 || Paperback || Irina Baldini || Brave New Books
Accountable Temporary Expedients is a practice that challenges the ability of dancers to attend to multiple stimuli at once and instigate situations which embrace confusion, doubt and uncertainty. This work stands in response to the notion that dance urges to emancipate. Baldini’s current critique sees dance as being "stuck, gooey, a victim of its own habit and, so in love with itself, it does not recognise its limitations. It is self-seduced, self-sufficient, and self-indulgent. Dance is n...
