Fascinating, challenging book. A lot going on. Many threads to follow, especially for English readers who don't know Latin American Marxism super well (like me). Love where it lands, strong rec versobooks.com/products/813-…

THE Sarah Jessica Parker in NYC with @ucl tote bags??? Possibly the most confusing exciting thing ever related to my institution Are UCL totes now style-forward? Move over Carrie’s Fendi baguette? I am so confused since in the UK uni swag is NOT a thing (except for Oxbridge)
