A Book of My Own

A Book of My Own tells the story of Mukasonga's self: her name, her exile, how her identity took shape—to "rebuild," as she puts it "a lost world from memory and preserve the dignity of humanity."

ABOUT ISOLARII

The humanism of the past five hundred years is dead. Believing man was exceptional, it opened the abyss of extinction. A new approach requires the effort of all those who tear down convention in order to preserve what is meaningful—not just environments, but irrationality, autonomy, and joy. isolarii take their name from the extinct genre of Venetian Renaissance 'island books.' Month to month, they map the extremes of human knowledge and creative endeavour, assembling the perennial legends and emerging icons—scientists and novelists, philosophers and activists, architects and technologists, from the counterculture to the avant-garde—pioneering new ways of understanding ourselves and the Earth.
