The Specter of AIDS

FORTHCOMING Spring 2026

The Specter of AIDS is a transdisciplinary text originally written in 1980s Brasil in a time of pandemic emergency.

Shift Work: A Conversation on Art and Life in the Third Millennium

FORTHCOMING Fall 2025

Art makes diverse ways of being within and seeing the world emerge. Looking at, thinking about, and living alongside art is both a gesture of avoidance—of capital’s goals to normalize, control, and structure life—and a gesture of hope: encountering other models for living while lost inside the work. Shift Work is a book of experimental[…]

Imprint:

FORTHCOMING Spring 2026

War Machine is a speculative sounding of the myriad entanglements of technology, ecology, discourse, politics, and conflict shaping the contemporary environment.

Autotheory and Its Others

FORTHCOMING Winter 2026

Ever since Maggie Nelson’s Argonauts gave the word fresh currency a decade ago, autotheory has infiltrated scholarly, literary, and artistic practices. Autotheory and Its Others contributes to this nascent metacritical conversation. An inclusive discourse, autotheory embraces its uncanny double, allotheory, and, thus, this collection invites to the table a host of uncanny others: psychoanalysis, queer[…]

Labyrinths: New and Selected Writings

Imprint:

FORTHCOMING Winter 2026

“Why are penetrating questions so much harder to formulate than penetrating answers?” critic Louis Bury asks. Why, indeed. It’s a great question, and also the throughline of Labyrinths: New and Selected Writings. In this collection, Munro formulates penetrating questions (punctums) again and again, and with style and economy. The stories that follow are never reduced[…]
