In Marina Benjamin’s new set of interlinked essays, she turns her astute eye to the tasks once termed ‘women’s work’. From cooking and cleaning to caring for an ageing relative, A Little Give depicts domestic life anew: as a site of paradox and conflict, but also of solace and profound meaning. Here, productivity sits alongside self-erasure, resentment with tenderness, and the animal self is never far away, perpetually threatening to break through.

En un diálogo permanente, Domingo Espinar va contándole su vida a un amigo escritor. En esas largas charlas, de bar en bar, le relata sus primeros amores, sus fracasos, habla de las personas que quiso, a las que perdió, sus primeros contactos con los movimientos sociales haciendo un repaso por la historia político-social y económica de España de las últimas decadas: desde el boom inmobiliario y la corruptela de algunos ayuntamientos hasta su implicación en un proceso por violencia de género acusado por su penúltima esposa.

With her new memoir Insomnia, Marina Benjamin has produced an unsettling account of an unsettling condition that treats our inability to sleep not as a disorder but as an existential experience that can electrify our understanding of ourselves and of creativity and love. Insomnia is a bravura piece of writing. At once philosophical and poetical, the book ranges widely over history and culture, literature and art, exploring a threshold experience that is intimately involved with trespass and contamination: the illicit importing of day into night.

A candid and beautifully written wrinkles-and-all meditation on the middle years, with all their dilemmas and challenges.... In a society obsessed with living longer and looking younger, what does middle age nowadays mean? How should a 50-something be in a world ceaselessly redefining ageing, youth and experience?
