Synopsis

In the Central West End of St. Louis, a gritty tale of ambition and survival unfolds amid the '80s crack epidemic. Michael, Junie, and Sean pursue the American dream, navigating the complexities of loyalty and betrayal of the city life. Randy and Cindy's quest for justice blurs the lines between right and wrong, and the Bells' legacy is tested as love and vigilantism collide. In a city pulsing with life and danger, personal bonds and underworld ties emerge, challenging the preconceived notions of race and kinship. Michael and Tracy's interwoven stories transcend societal divides, crafting a narrative steeped in the stark realities of urban existence and the power of unconventional unity.

    A playful, analytical, informed, and poetic exploration of the delight and transformative power of real-life encounters. 
     
     
     
    The light touch of a hairdresser's hands on one's scalp, the euphoric energy of a nightclub, huddling with strangers under a shelter in the rain, a spontaneous snowball fight in the street, a daily interaction with a homeless man—such mundane connections, when we closely inhabit the same space, and touch or are touched by others, were nearly lost to "social distancing." Will we ever again shake hands without a thought? 
     
     
     
    In this deeply rewarding book, Andy Field brings together history, science, psychology, queer theory, and pop culture with his love of urban life and his own experiences—both as a city-dweller and as a performance artist—to forge creative connections: walking hand-in-hand with strangers, knocking on doors, staging encounters in parked cars. In considering twelve different kinds of encounters, from car rides to video calls to dog-walker chats in the park, Field argues "that in the spontaneity and joy of our meetings with each other, we might find the faint outline of a better future."

  • Narcissism - Excessive Self-Love and a Lack of Empathy for Others - cover

    Narcissism - Excessive Self-Love...

    Narcissism is a psychological concept that has long fascinated scholars, psychologists, and the general public alike. It is often associated with excessive self-love, a heightened sense of self-importance, and a lack of empathy for others. While narcissistic traits can manifest in different ways, they generally revolve around an inflated self-image, a deep need for admiration, and difficulties in forming genuine emotional connections. The term originates from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, ultimately leading to his demise. This myth serves as a metaphor for the dangers of extreme self-obsession and the inability to recognize the needs of others. 
    At its core, narcissism exists on a spectrum. A healthy level of self-esteem and confidence is essential for personal development and success. However, when self-love becomes excessive and is coupled with an absence of empathy, it can lead to behaviors that harm relationships, work environments, and even societal structures. Narcissism can manifest in subtle ways, such as a tendency to dominate conversations or dismiss opposing viewpoints, or in more extreme forms, such as manipulative behavior and an inability to accept criticism. 
    The role of self-love and empathy in human behavior is a delicate balance. While a certain degree of self-appreciation is necessary for mental well-being, an overemphasis on oneself at the expense of others creates social and psychological challenges. Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is often lacking in those with high narcissistic tendencies. This deficiency can lead to exploitative relationships, a disregard for others' emotions, and difficulty in maintaining meaningful connections.
