2 hours ago The Odd Woman and the City by Vivian Gornick review – a restless mind on the move

Reissued for British readers, the renowned US writer’s 2015 essay about wandering the streets of New York has lost none of its sparkleThere is a rare breed of writer whose books defy easy categorisation, their subjects prone to meandering in an intellectually driven stream of consciousness across the page. They may touch upon fiction, memoir or even philosophy, but they delight mostly because they reveal a brilliant, and idiosyncratic, mind. In the UK there are, among others, Deborah Levy and Geoff Dyer; in the US, Sigrid Nunez and Vivian Gornick.Gornick, 89, is a celebrated American writer not much known on these shores, although her work is diligently being resurrected by the wonderful Daunt Books. Having previously put out Fierce Attachments, the much-praised 1987 memoir about her complicated relationship with her mother, now it is republishing The Odd Woman and the City, a 150-page essay (originally published in the US in 2015) that casts Gornick as a modern-day flâneur traversi...

5 hours ago We ignore Sudan at our peril. This campaign of mass murder and rape will have global consequences | Nesrine Malik

Almost two years into the war, Sudan is facing anarchy, famine, genocide – and ambivalence from the rest of the worldSudan’s war, which began in April 2023, is closing in on its second year. No one expects or becomes accustomed to war, but it is striking that the most common sentiment I hear among Sudanese people – and even some outside observers – is that they still can’t believe this is happening.Since the calamitous falling out between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a militia that was previously the army’s partner in power, the speed at which the country has unravelled, and the overlapping crises that the war has caused, have been hard to fathom. Millions are displaced, both within and outside the country. Famine is blighting hundreds of thousands. Sexual violence is taking place on a “staggering” scale, according to the United Nations. In areas where RSF soldiers are reportedly raping women and girls, some victims have taken their own lives and potential v...

17 hours ago The Guardian view on Argentina’s austerity year: painful cuts, rising poverty and a geopolitical gamble | Editorial

In his first 12 months Javier Milei has imposed drastic economic measures – sparking protests while banking on an IMF bailoutThe first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump after his victory last November was Argentina’s president, Javier Milei. The affinity is obvious: both are political outsiders united by extreme-right rhetoric and a penchant for anarchic capitalism. Mr Milei promised a war on bureaucrats, brutal public spending cuts and sweeping deregulation of Latin America’s second-largest economy. Predictably, the outcome has been devastating: a recession plunged more than half the country into poverty within the first six months of 2024.Mr Milei did not so much win the last election as the previous government lost it. When voters went to the polls in October 2023, monthly inflation stood at around 8%, fuelling frustration with the established parties and anxiety about the future – sentiments Mr Milei skilfully exploited. After his victory, monthly inflation soared to...
