"Tariq Goddard revolutionized philosophy publishing in the Anglophone world, changing many more lives than my own. This brief memoir gives a spicy sample of the personality that made it all possible."--Graham Harman, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Southern California Institute of Architecture "Publishing is really three invaluable books in a sharply-tailored trenchcoat; a fascinating memoir that conceals within itself both a handbook for the inner workings of a notoriously occulted industry, as well as an emergency survival guide for writers and artists wondering how and why to keep creating from the heart in the age of algorithms and LLMs. I only put it down when I could no longer resist the urge to write."--Meredith Graves, artist and writer "Too often book publishing is determined by flickering near-term gains, the algorithmic transiency of what's trending, and the unhinged mania for conglomerating. As both author and publisher Tariq Goddard has shown that this need not be the case, and that the invocation of that strange thing called a book--wily and feral though it may be--can exist as a singular, integrated, creative act."--Eugene Thacker, author of, In the Dust of This Planet
