What's These Worlds Coming To?

Forms of Living

by Jean-Luc Nancy, Aurélien Barrau, David Pettigrew (Foreword)

In this book, the authors invite us on an uncharted walk into barely known worlds when an everyday French idiom, What's this world coming to?, is used to question our conventional thinking about the world.
