“In this collection of intricately linked chapters, Gavin Smith continues his incisive efforts to open the boundaries between oppositions that have bedeviled anthropology almost since it began. Throughout, he refines conventional polarities the better to reveal their common origins in social being: among them are micro- and macroscales of analysis, the material production of experience and discourse, and structuralist detachment and political engagement.” · American Ethnologist

	“In Intellectuals and (Counter-) Politics, Gavin Smith reaffirms his stature as one of the most important anthropologists writing today. By way of a tightly woven set of arguments, he simultaneously challenges and inspires us to expand our historical, geographical, and theoretical imaginations to meet the pressing interpretive and political challenges of the global present. The publication of Intellectuals and (Counter-) Politics will constitute a major event within anthropological circles and well beyond.” · August Carbonella, Memorial University of Newfoundland

	“A cutting edge discussion between anthropology and the disciplines of history and geography, all through the lens of the politics of intellectual work. A paradigm of sensitive ethnographic work fused with broadly social/political theory, this book will pull in a lot of people looking to find their way out of a certain rabbit hole of recent academia.” · Neil Smith, Graduate Center, City University of New York.

The Epinoia of Light

&ldquo;A luminous feat of generosity and humanism.&rdquo;&mdash;Colson Whitehead, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Grief guts us all, but rarely has it been elucidated with such nuance and brilliance as in Saunders&rsquo;s Civil War phantasmagoria. Heartrending yet somehow hilarious, Saunders&rsquo;s zinger of an allegory holds a mirror to our perilous current moment.&rdquo;&mdash;O: The Oprah Magazine &ldquo;An extended national ghost story . . . As anyone who knows Saunders&rsquo;s work would expect, his first novel is a strikingly original production.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post &ldquo;Saunders&rsquo;s beautifully realized portrait of Lincoln . . . attests to the author&rsquo;s own fruitful transition from the short story to the long-distance form of the novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times &ldquo;Profound, funny and vital . . . the work of a great writer.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Tribune &ldquo;Heartbreaking and hilarious . . . For all its divine comedy, Lincoln in the Bardo is also deep and moving.&rdquo;&mdash;USA Today &ldquo;Along with the wonderfully bizarre, empathy abounds in Lincoln in the Bardo.&rdquo;&mdash;Time &ldquo;There are moments that are almost transcendentally beautiful, that will come back to you on the edge of sleep. And it is told in beautifully realized voices, rolling out with precision or with stream-of-consciousness drawl.&rdquo;&mdash;NPR &ldquo;Lincoln in the Bardo is part historical novel, part carnivalesque phantasmagoria. It may well be the most strange and brilliant book you&rsquo;ll read this year.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Times &ldquo;A masterpiece.&rdquo;&mdash;Zadie Smith &ldquo;Ingenious . . . Saunders&mdash;well on his way toward becoming a twenty-first-century Twain&mdash;crafts an American patchwork of love and loss, giving shape to our foundational sorrows.&rdquo;&mdash;Vogue &ldquo;Saunders is the most humane American writer working today.&rdquo;&mdash;Harper&rsquo;s Magazine &ldquo;The novel beats with a present-day urgency&mdash;a nation at war with itself, the unbearable grief of a father who has lost a child, and a howling congregation of ghosts, as divided in death as in life, unwilling to move on.&rdquo;&mdash;Vanity Fair &ldquo;A brilliant, Buddhist reimagining of an American story of great loss and great love . . . Saunders has written an unsentimental novel of Shakespearean proportions, gorgeously stuffed with tragic characters, bawdy humor, terrifying visions, throat-catching tenderness, and a galloping narrative, all twined around the luminous cord connecting a father and son and backlit by a nation engulfed in fire.&rdquo;&mdash;Elle &ldquo;Wildly imaginative.&rdquo;&mdash;Marie Claire &ldquo;Mesmerizing . . . Dantesque . . . A haunting American ballad.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review) &ldquo;Exhilarating . . . Ruthless and relentless in its evocation not only of Lincoln and his quandary, but also of the tenuous existential state shared by all of us.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review) &ldquo;It&rsquo;s unlike anything you&rsquo;ve ever read, except that the grotesque humor, pathos, and, ultimately, human kindness at its core mark it as a work that could come only from Saunders.&rdquo;&mdash;The National
