New book, Precarious Lease, now out by Socrates contributor Jacqueline Feldman

Jacqueline Feldman’s non-fiction debut is a beautiful, important and timely study of Le Bloc, a squat in Paris on.ft.com/4gMBXPD

For this week's @ftweekend I reviewed Precarious Lease by Jacqueline Feldman from @FitzcarraldoEds - a brilliant and important book that got me fired up about housing, writing, living... ft.com/content/4c27eb…

@GabrielJBump You still have Gizzi’s syllabus saved somewhere don’t you? If not, I’ll send

I look at this and think, that “either” needs to be “whether,” “achieved” perhaps “arranged”; “horribly” might have been cut. Thank god for Claire Foster

'Opening a squat isn't a very highly collective activity, even if it's better done as a team or small group – it was living together as two hundred people within the squat that made the greatest demands.' Julia Steiner interviews @jacquefeld: thelondonmagazine.org/interview-jacq…

@Greg_Gerke I’ve only read a little of The Passenger but so far I like the sister… I do think that a lot of male writers aren’t able to write characters who don’t sound like them, doing so is undervalued in the way of a lot of feminized labor. For sure “seriousness” is not very descriptive

I do think Cormac couldn't write women, but I truly don't think "masculine seriousness" is a hallmark of his style. Was it for Faulkner? Eudora Welty? Djuna Barnes? Pamela Ryder? I'm not sure style can be parsed this way--on the surface, maybe. But not in the fine grain...

@chapp010 at the borders of essay/novel, but @jacquefeld 's On Your Feet is worth consideration minorliteratures.com/2024/03/21/on-…

Read this excerpt from PRECARIOUS LEASE, a work of reportage on a Parisian squat by one of my favorite contemporary writers @jacquefeld. We worked together on an early draft, extraordinary even then, and I'm thrilled to see that it will be published by FE.

'The beauty of Le Bloc was not that it took in everyone but that it took in anyone; one of its failures was that it could not take in everyone.' Read an essay adapted from an excerpt of PRECARIOUS LEASE by Jacqueline Feldman (January 2025) in @parisreview: theparisreview.org/blog/2024/08/2…

@IneluctableQuak 🙏🙏

@jacquefeld Ohhhh looks great!

Ah yes, Fall Books. That time of the year when all major publications cover the same 10 books that I’m unlikely to read. Anyway heres’s some books I’m looking forward to this Fall. Let me know — based on the aesthetics of this list — if I missed some.

“Myths of Paris came to roost at Le Bloc as they did at other squats, as if squats were the city’s unconscious.” @jacquefeld’s account of a squat in Paris. buff.ly/4cJIE2P
