Does it ripen or rot? Achieve a new serenity or succumb to an escalating torment? As our bodies decay, how do we keep on? In this beguiling meditation, Geoff Dyer sets his own encounter with late middle age against the last days and last works of writers, painters, footballers, musicians, and tennis stars who’ve mattered to him throughout his life. With a playful charm and penetrating intelligence, he recounts Friedrich Nietzsche’s breakdown in Turin, Bob Dylan’s reinventions of old songs, J. M. W. Turner’s paintings of abstracted light, John Coltrane’s cosmic melodies, Bjorn Borg’s defeats, and Beethoven’s final quartets—and considers the intensifications and modifications of experience that come when an ending is within sight. Throughout, he stresses the accomplishments of uncouth geniuses who defied convention, and went on doing so even when their beautiful youths were over. Ranging from Burning Man and the Doors to the nineteenth-century Alps and back, Dyer’s book on last things is also a book about how to go on living with art and beauty—and on the entrancing effect and sudden illumination that an Art Pepper solo or Annie Dillard reflection can engender in even the most jaded and ironic sensibilities. Praised by Steve Martin for his “hilarious tics” and by Tom Bissell as “perhaps the most bafflingly great prose writer at work in the English language today,” Dyer has now blended criticism, memoir, and humorous banter of the most serious kind into something entirely new. The Last Days of Roger Federer is a summation of Dyer’s passions, and the perfect introduction to his sly and joyous work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/d7616cbc-b392-4ae4-a410-05eedff0a1b3/9781419722448.IN09.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ The name Phyllis Posnick is synonymous with Vogue and the extraordinary fashion and beauty editorials the magazine’s audience loves. Posnick is best known for creating photo editorials to illustrate the magazine’s Beauty and Health articles, as well as iconic portraits of celebrated personalities. Bringing together the provocative and sometimes shocking, this collection invites readers to glimpse the complex production process— and the collaboration and creativity—behind each extraordinary editorial. The book features images by a who’s who of legendary photographers: Anton Corbijn, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Klein, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Mario Testino, Tim Walker, and Bruce Weber. The book includes a foreword by Anna Wintour and is punctuated with Posnick’s personal memories and irreverence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/dbbb46fa-7fde-48cf-a909-1b1e33e413dc/9781784707170.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ From the beginning of their lives, the Olivier sisters stood out: surprisingly emancipated, strikingly beautiful, markedly determined, and alarmingly 'wild'. Rupert Brooke was said to be in love with all four of them; D. H. Lawrence thought they were frankly 'wrong'; Virginia Woolf found them curiously difficult to read. In this intimate, sweeping biography, Sarah Watling brings the sisters in from the margins, tracing lives that span colonial Jamaica, the bucolic life of Victorian progressives, the frantic optimism of Edwardian Cambridge, the bleakness of two world wars, and a host of evolving philosophies for life over the course of the twentieth century. Noble Savages is a compelling portrait of sisterhood in all its complexities, which rediscovers the lives of four extraordinary women within the varied fortunes of the feminism of their times, while illuminating the battles and ethics of biography itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/fadc551a-c660-4400-b12f-e9b6e7c18307/71qLGfggIQL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ “The role of the critic,” Daniel Mendelsohn writes, “is to mediate intelligently and stylishly between a work and its audience; to educate and edify in an engaging and, preferably, entertaining way.” His latest collection exemplifies the range, depth, and erudition that have made him “required reading for anyone interested in dissecting culture” (The Daily Beast). In Ecstasy and Terror, Mendelsohn once again casts an eye at literature, film, television, and the personal essay, filtering his insights through his training as a scholar of classical antiquity in illuminating and sometimes surprising ways. Many of these essays look with fresh eyes at our culture’s Greek and Roman models: some find an arresting modernity in canonical works (Bacchae, the Aeneid), while others detect a “Greek DNA” in our responses to national traumas such as the Boston Marathon bombings and the assassination of JFK. There are pieces on contemporary literature, from the “aesthetics of victimhood” in Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life to the uncomfortable mixture of art and autobiography in novels by Henry Roth, Ingmar Bergman, and Karl Ove Knausgård. Mendelsohn considers pop culture, too, in essays on the feminism of Game of Thrones and on recent films about artificial intelligence—a subject, he reminds us, that was already of interest to Homer. This collection also brings together for the first time a number of the award-winning memoirist’s personal essays, including his “critic’s manifesto” and a touching reminiscence of his boyhood correspondence with the historical novelist Mary Renault, who inspired him to study the Classics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/f12818c4-7436-46e8-a453-3f64c7eba032/710izM3QkHL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ A nameless woman enters a hotel room. She’s been here once before. In the years since, the room hasn’t changed, but she has. Forever caught between check-in and check-out, she will go on to occupy other hotel rooms. From Avignon to Oslo, Auckland to Austin, each is as anonymous as the last but bound by rules of her choosing. There, amid the detritus of her travels, the matchbooks, cigarettes, keys and room-service wine, she negotiates with her memories, with the men she sometimes meets, with the clichés invented to aggravate middle-aged women, with those she has lost or left behind--and with what it might mean to return home. Urgent and immersive, filled with black humour and desire, McBride’s Strange Hotel is a novel of enduring emotional force. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/ea0c486d-1f33-42a2-8483-956a1cb37b02/LeonardMAIN2.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER Named a Fall Read by Vogue, Esquire, The Washington Post, TIME, Vanity Fair and O, the Oprah Magazine. One of Daily Mail and Financial Times's Best Books of 2018. “There are very, very few people who occupy the ground that Leonard Cohen walks on.” —BONO The Flame is the final work from Leonard Cohen, the revered poet and musician whose fans span generations and whose work is celebrated throughout the world. Featuring poems, excerpts from his private notebooks, lyrics, and hand-drawn self-portraits, The Flame offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist. A reckoning with a life lived deeply and passionately, with wit and panache, The Flame is a valedictory work. “This volume contains my father’s final efforts as a poet,” writes Cohen’s son, Adam Cohen, in his foreword. “It was what he was staying alive to do, his sole breathing purpose at the end.” Leonard Cohen died in late 2016. But “each page of paper that he blackened,” in the words of his son, “was lasting evidence of a burning soul.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/4020a6b4-b953-4234-9719-74feba58cf75/91h9etP6wbL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ *NATIONAL BESTSELLER* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA HISTORICAL DAGGER AWARD* A Globe and Mail Best Book of the Year A New York Times Editors’ Choice Pick “Banville sets up and then deftly demolishes the Agatha Christie format…superbly rich and sophisticated.”—New York Times Book Review The incomparable Booker Prize winner’s next great crime novel—the story of a family whose secrets resurface when a parish priest is found murdered in their ancestral home Detective Inspector St. John Strafford has been summoned to County Wexford to investigate a murder. A parish priest has been found dead in Ballyglass House, the family seat of the aristocratic, secretive Osborne family. The year is 1957 and the Catholic Church rules Ireland with an iron fist. Strafford—flinty, visibly Protestant and determined to identify the murderer—faces obstruction at every turn, from the heavily accumulating snow to the culture of silence in the tight-knit community he begins to investigate. As he delves further, he learns the Osbornes are not at all what they seem. And when his own deputy goes missing, Strafford must work to unravel the ever-expanding mystery before the community’s secrets, like the snowfall itself, threaten to obliterate everything. Beautifully crafted, darkly evocative and pulsing with suspense, Snow is “the Irish master” (New Yorker) John Banville at his page-turning best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/0af0a757-8ed8-463b-a594-e6d2935f3252/8109I9B6zQL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ See/Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our perspectives. Starting from single images by the world’s most important photographers – from Eugène Atget to Alex Webb – Geoff Dyer shows us how to read a photograph, as he takes us through a series of close readings that are by turns moving, funny, prescient and surprising. Following Dyer’s previous books on photography, The Ongoing Moment and The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand, See/Saw brilliantly combines visual scrutiny and stylistic flair. It shows us how a photograph can simultaneously record and invent the world, and reveals a master seer at work. In the spirit of the intellectual curiosity of Berger, Sontag and Didion, Geoff Dyer helps us to see the world around us, and within us, afresh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/2694a8bc-adc4-43e7-9307-398b85853afe/14bookwood1-superJumbo.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ The definitive collection of literary essays by The New Yorker’s award-winning longtime book critic Ever since the publication of his first essay collection, The Broken Estate, in 1999, James Wood has been widely regarded as a leading literary critic of the English-speaking world. His essays on canonical writers (Gustav Flaubert, Herman Melville), recent legends (Don DeLillo, Marilynne Robinson) and significant contemporaries (Zadie Smith, Elena Ferrante) have established a standard for informed and incisive appreciation, composed in a distinctive literary style all their own. Together, Wood’s essays, and his bestselling How Fiction Works, share an abiding preoccupation with how fiction tells its own truths, and with the vocation of the writer in a world haunted by the absence of God. In Serious Noticing, Wood collects his best essays from two decades of his career, supplementing earlier work with autobiographical reflections from his book The Nearest Thing to Life and recent essays from The New Yorker on young writers of extraordinary promise. The result is an essential guide to literature in the new millennium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/d5f30c0a-621d-45df-ba2f-8dc92d08c6e6/10camp4-jumbo.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ Through more than 250 objects dating from the seventeenth century to the present, The Costume Institute's spring 2019 exhibition explores the origins of camp's exuberant aesthetic. Susan Sontag's 1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp'" provides the framework for the exhibition, which examines how the elements of irony, humor, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality, and exaggeration are expressed in fashion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/e0f9552b-b67d-4a31-9618-9bbd6557dcbe/7108FtmMmcL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ In a genre-defying book hailed as “exquisite” (The New York Times) and “spectacular” (The Times Literary Supplement), the best-selling memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn explores the mysterious links between the randomness of the lives we lead and the artfulness of the stories we tell. Combining memoir, biography, history, and literary criticism, Three Rings weaves together the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics of the past to create masterpieces of their own—works that pondered the nature of narrative itself: Erich Auerbach, the Jewish philologist who fled Hitler’s Germany and wrote his classic study of Western literature, Mimesis, in Istanbul; François Fénelon, the seventeenth-century French archbishop whose ingenious sequel to the Odyssey, The Adventures of Telemachus—a veiled critique of the Sun King and the best-selling book in Europe for a hundred years—resulted in his banishment; and the German novelist W.G. Sebald, self-exiled to England, whose distinctively meandering narratives explore Odyssean themes of displacement, nostalgia, and separation from home. Intertwined with these tales of exile and artistic crisis is an account of Mendelsohn’s struggle to write two of his own books—a family saga of the Holocaust and a memoir about reading the Odyssey with his elderly father—that are haunted by tales of oppression and wandering. As Three Rings moves to its startling conclusion, a climactic revelation about the way in which the lives of its three heroes were linked across borders, languages, and centuries forces the reader to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/5564bfbf-ac4e-4c3b-a5ee-a8d5b66bbe64/DvBJHc6WsAAGH9U.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ John Berger, one of the world’s most celebrated art writers, takes us through centuries of drawing and painting, revealing his lifelong fascination with a diverse cast of artists. In Portraits, Berger grounds the artists in their historical milieu in revolutionary ways, whether enlarging on the prehistoric paintings of the Chauvet caves or Cy Twombly’s linguistic and pictorial play. In penetrating and singular prose, Berger presents entirely new ways of thinking about artists both canonized and obscure, from Rembrandt to Henry Moore, Jackson Pollock to Picasso. Throughout, Berger maintains the essential connection between politics, art and the wider study of culture. The result is an illuminating walk through many centuries of visual culture, from one of the contemporary world’s most incisive critical voices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/a9147ec3-e057-4c8b-8530-364dac6a6d7e/91pjTZTA1nS.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ *NATIONAL BESTSELLER* Booker Prize winner John Banville returns with a dark and evocative new mystery set on the Spanish coast Don't disturb the dead… On the idyllic coast of San Sebastian, Spain, Dublin pathologist Quirke is struggling to relax, despite the beaches, cafés and the company of his disarmingly lovely wife. When he glimpses a familiar face in the twilight at Las Acadas bar, it's hard at first to tell whether his imagination is just running away with him. Because this young woman can't be April Latimer. She was murdered by her brother, years ago—the conclusion to an unspeakable scandal that shook one of Ireland's foremost political dynasties. Unable to ignore his instincts, Quirke makes a call back home to Ireland and soon Detective St. John Strafford is dispatched to Spain. But he's not the only one en route. A relentless hit man is on the hunt for his latest prey, and the next victim might be Quirke himself. Sumptous, propulsive and utterly transporting, April in Spain is the work of a master writer at the top of his game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/83776807-a2ff-4d2c-9c1a-229942145809/seasonal_quartet.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet is a series of four stand-alone novels, separate but interconnected (as the seasons are), wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, which, when taken together, give us something more—all four united by the passing of time, the timing of narrative, and the endless familiarity yet renewal that the cycle of the seasons is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/23b6acc4-415c-48c7-96c2-812b4c85a395/717X5idN%2BjL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ A New York Times bestselling author and veteran board member offers an insider's view of corporate boards, their struggles, and why they must adapt to survive. Corporate boards are under great pressure. Scandals and malpractice at companies like Theranos, WeWork, Uber, and Wells Fargo have raised justified questions among regulators, shareholders, and the public about the quality of corporate governance. In How Boards Work, prizewinning economist and veteran board director Dambisa Moyo offers an insider's view of corporate boards as they are buffeted by the turbulence of our times. Moyo argues that corporations need boards that are more transparent, more knowledgeable, more diverse, and more deeply involved in setting the strategic course of the companies they lead. How Boards Work offers a road map for how boards can steer companies through tomorrow's challenges and ensure they thrive to benefit their employees, shareholders, and society at large. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/36105bdb-a618-42d8-a0ed-589a44934de9/816TT2mWfJL.jpg Projects - Selected Agency Projects: 2014–2021 Ⓐ In the tradition of John Szarkowski’s classic book Atget, award-winning author Geoff Dyer writes one hundred essays about one hundred photographs, including previously unpublished color work, by renowned street photographer Garry Winogrand. https://www.hannahmtownsend.com/projects/project-two-bbnj6 monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/7b16d95d-2efa-4944-9731-0ecb0e9ce2b7/IMG_0021.JPG Projects - Art_Latin_America: Against the Survey Ⓒ | Ⓔ | Ⓕ| ⓟ | Ⓡ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/afedc551-5b30-45e5-901e-7baff795cb22/IMG_0022.JPG Projects - Art_Latin_America: Against the Survey Ⓒ | Ⓔ | Ⓕ| ⓟ | Ⓡ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/6632ca76-509b-4c92-a3e0-a0749c9e79a6/IMG_0020.JPG Projects - Art_Latin_America: Against the Survey Ⓒ | Ⓔ | Ⓕ| ⓟ | Ⓡ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/39bfa4f0-c059-4a38-870d-727076c65603/IMG_0025.JPG Projects - Art_Latin_America: Against the Survey Ⓒ | Ⓔ | Ⓕ| ⓟ | Ⓡ https://www.hannahmtownsend.com/projects/nuevo-len-the-future-is-unwritten monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/7e6b5367-ea5a-4842-a013-588f0add105c/Nuevo-Leon-the-future-is-unwritten-002-1-768x1025.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/5c1f214c-6be9-4bd2-ab91-a352d121e3fd/978-84-10290-09-9-AlejandroC.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/fd0b5c57-ae04-4847-80d0-2034a4e83854/978-84-10290-09-9-AristeoJ.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/f8f4c806-485c-401d-a92f-a13f2451b1a6/978-84-10290-09-9-RuthR.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/14fa8e5c-f140-47fd-b3f9-3144ef611c82/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-03-25-a-las-13.55.50.png Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/a87cac00-d28b-43fd-a230-cf674e1a8606/Nuevo-Leon-the-future-is-unwritten-003.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/bf4ba795-a9b6-4e09-87fc-fc390b4ab146/Nuevo-Leon-the-future-is-unwritten-004.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/49bba892-144e-43ae-82a9-77c780e9349b/Nuevo-Leon-the-future-is-unwritten-007.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/63ae5f62-52de-4fbd-aeb1-6c768c11ba8e/Nuevo-Leon-the-future-is-unwritten-008.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/218ce160-74af-412b-99ce-5b727f55eb2f/Nuevo-Leon-the-future-is-unwritten-005.jpg Projects - Nuevo León: The Future is Unwritten Ⓒ | Ⓕ | ⓟ https://www.hannahmtownsend.com/projects/project-one-tbyfj monthly 0.5 2024-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/70f30848-7162-44f3-a29c-727e90a9a3b3/Mexico-la-tierra-del-encanto_00-1.jpg Projects - Mexico: The Land of Charm Ⓒ | Ⓕ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/d2ec3dcf-4aa7-46f8-a0e0-ffe4dff604d6/Mexico-la-tierra-del-encanto_00.jpg Projects - Mexico: The Land of Charm Ⓒ | Ⓕ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/fd8572fb-17b8-4f53-9458-9d95f5d218dd/Mexico-The-Land-of-Charm_05.jpg Projects - Mexico: The Land of Charm Ⓒ | Ⓕ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/502c745b-b483-414d-90a6-9e3ce2b7b4dd/Mexico-The-Land-of-Charm_04.jpg Projects - Mexico: The Land of Charm Ⓒ | Ⓕ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/2003d1f6-bb37-435e-9660-fac41543596a/Mexico-The-Land-of-Charm_02.jpg Projects - Mexico: The Land of Charm Ⓒ | Ⓕ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614cea7a249d904686392a6c/5f25c6db-4877-4e37-8e83-bc65b8fa35a8/Mexico-The-Land-of-Charm_06.jpg Projects - Mexico: The Land of Charm Ⓒ | Ⓕ
