By the late 1960s, around a quarter of all new investment by US companies in electrical and non-electrical ...”

“... herself; a single page of her introduction contains references to Wayne Koestenbaum, Gertrude Stein, George Oppen, Robin D.G. Kelley, Judith Butler, Fred Moten and Wendy Brown. In as far as this amorphous work can be defined, On Freedom is an example of a recent genre that takes as its subject the phenomenon of mass ...”

“... You were born clean ... Graves turned against England also. On the recommendation of Gertrude Stein, he and Riding settled in 1929 in the small Majorcan village of Deyà, which was to remain, apart from the war years 1936-45, Graves’s home for the rest of his life.
