Read my first review in Los Angeles Review of Books here! So much food for thought in Adam Phillips’ latest, On Giving Up 📖 x.com/LAReviewofBook…

"Literature helps us give up mundanity. It allows us to sit with the shapeless morass of time by framing it on the page." Sarah Moorhouse considers the necessity and renewal of giving up habit through Adam Phillips's "On Giving Up." lareviewofbooks.org/article/endles…

I wrote a review of this book about Walter Benjamin for Los Angeles Review of Books, in which Eli Friedlander offers an expert introduction to the sheer range of Benjamin's work.

Very late to the party (!) on this one but here's my review of Splinters by the wonderful Leslie Jamison for Oxford Review of Books the-orb.org/post/splinters…

"In effectively mapping out Benjamin’s philosophy, how much of his own perspective is enough? How much would be too much?" Sarah Moorhouse reviews Eli Friedlander’s "Walter Benjamin and the Idea of Natural History." lareviewofbooks.org/article/critic…

With Michael Kimmage in Liberties Journal of Culture and Politics on impurity in art, Rob Doyle in UnHerd on depictions of the Holocaust in art, Sarah Moorhouse in Los Angeles Review of Books reviewing a book on Walter Benjamin, and Daisy Alioto interviewing Maxwell Williams in Dirt. 1/2

I reviewed Olivia Laing's lovely The Garden Against Time for Rain Taxi: raintaxi.com/the-garden-aga…

'It is "never really about [the editor] at all". The best editors cultivate books that can sing on their own.' An interesting and thoughtful article on how much our publishing output should be determined by an editor's taste from Sarah Moorhouse thebookseller.com/comment/are-ed…

“Drawing on archival material spanning some three centuries, Tomes uncovers a history of female pianists who performed in defiance of their gender and in pursuit of beauty and art.” Sarah Moorhouse reviews Susan Tomes's "Women and the Piano." lareviewofbooks.org/article/to-wri…
