A book-length essay on beauty and revolution as seen through the work of Jean-Luc Godard.

As Joanna Walsh watches the films of Jean-Luc Godard, she considers beauty and desire in life and art. There's a resistance, in Godard's women, writes Walsh, that is at the heart of his work (and theirs). She is captivated by the Paris of his films and the often porous border between the city presented on screen and the one she inhabited herself. With cool precision, and in language that shines with aphoristic wit, Walsh has crafted an exquisitely intimate portrait of the way attention to works of art becomes attention to changes in ourselves. Taut and gem-like, My Life as a Godard Movie is a probing meditation by one of our most observant writers.

My Life as a Godard Movie is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

During the breakdown of an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh got a job as a hotel reviewer, and began to gravitate towards places designed as alternatives to home. Luxury, sex, power, anonymity, privacy...hotels are where our desires go on holiday, but also places where our desires are shaped by the hard realities of the marketplace. Part memoir and part meditation, this book visits a series of rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies-the spaces and things that make up these modern sites of gathering and alienation, hotels.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Joanna Walsh is fast becoming one of our most important writers. --Deborah Levy

This collection cements Joanna Walsh's reputation as one of the sharpest writers of this century. Wearing her learning lightly, Walsh's stories make us see the world afresh, from a freewheeling story on cycling (and Freud), to a country in which words themselves fall out of fashion--something that will never happen wherever Walsh is read.

Joanna Walsh is the author of Hotel and Vertigo. She also writes literary criticism, edits at 3: AM and Catapult, and founded @read_women. She lives in Oxford, UK.

So I didn't call you: instead I posted a new avatar of myself without my habitual dark glasses. I have learned: an image, any image, is a blind. All avatars give different information, illusions of contact called Telepresence, none of them the real thing. You texted me, 3 am, from some station ... As though it made any difference. But it did.
--from Break.up

In this novel in essays, Joanna Walsh simultaneously flees and pursues an ambiguous partner in an affair conducted mostly online. Traversing Europe, she awaits emails and texts and PMs, awash in her dreams, offering succinct meditations on connection and communication. If Marguerite Duras situated the telephone as the twentieth century's preferred hopeless form of connection, Walsh pinpoints the nodal points of a romance within today's mesh of electronic communication.

As Deborah Levy observed recently, Joanna Walsh is fast becoming one of our most important writers. Her 2015 book Hotel, an investigation of transience conducted through hotel reviews, was described by The Paris Review as a slim, sharp meditation on hotels and desires. Walsh is] funny throughout, even as she documents the dissolution of her marriage and the peculiar brand of alienation on offer in lavish places.

Praise for Joanna Walsh
Walsh's writing has intellectual rigor and bags of formal bravery.
--The Financial Times

Hotel feels like something you want to endlessly quote: sharp, knowing, casually erudite ... there is power and an affecting gravitas in what Walsh does with detail.
--Sydney Review of Books

Walsh is a sublimely elegant writer ... artful and intelligent.
--The New Statesman

Joanna Walsh's haunting and unforgettable stories enact a literal vertigo--the feeling that if I fall I will fall not toward the earth but into space--by probing the spaces between things. Waiting for news in a children's hospital, pondering her husband's multiple online flirtations or observing the tourists and locals at a third-world archeological site, her narrator approaches the suppressed state of panic coursing beneath things that are normally tamed by our blunted perceptions of ordinary life. Vertigo is an original and breathtaking book. (Chris Kraus)

There are hugs for wrigglers, and hugs for gigglers. Hugs that are tickly, and hugs that are prickly...But what kind of hug is absolutely PERFECT? This fabulous feel-good picture book is simply bursting with the cuddliest, snuggliest, most perfect hugs. Dive in and enjoy a hug yourself!

The unwritten contract of the internet, that a user is what is used, extends from the well-examined issue of data privacy and consent to the very selves women are encouraged to create in order to appear. Invited to self-construct as girls online, vloggers, bloggers and influencers sign a devil's bargain: a platform on the condition they commodify themselves, eternally youthful, cute and responsibility-free, hiding offline domestic, professional and emotional labour while paying for their online presence with accounts of personal experience.

Told via the arresting personal narrative of one woman negotiating the (cyber)space between her identities as girl, mother, writer, and commodified online persona, Girl Online is written in a plethora of the online styles, from programming language to the blog/diary, from tweets to lyric prose, taking in selfies, social media, celebrity and Cyberfeminism.

The new book by the author of V rtigo tells us about the difficulty of establishing true communication with others. Funny, unexpected, sarcastic, unrepeatable. This new collection of stories is the inclement and humorous harassment of Joanna Walsh to a subject: the isolation and the impossibility of connection with another person. The protagonists of these stories categorize reading habits according to the relationships of a small, somewhat envious community; or they wait for months in a foreign train station for their appointment to arrive; or they write an old letter to break a relationship at a time when people have learned to speak to each other with interjections. Imaginative in the choice of her formats and precise even when she names the most ambiguous affections, Walsh is an unrepeatable writer, only comparable to those teachers (from Kafka to Lydia Davis) who have given the short story the subversive capacity to think the unthinkable.

See the world through the eyes of a child looking at things for the first time. Why do things look tiny from above, enormous from below, backwards in a mirror, wobbly through water, and blurry from a distance? Did You Ever See? puts into words a variety of visual experiences. Children will be inspired to notice both what they see and how they see the world around them, gaining new perspectives as they do.

Amateurs! is the story of how YOU created internet culture and why it matters. Web 2.0 invited users to create: blogs, vlogs, tweets, memes and more. For the first time in history, art became *the* fundamental form of communication. What started as fun became a currency--vital for finding friends, work and love--then, as meatspace job security eroded, work. Now an internet presence is no longer optional, platforms increasingly charge for use, selling our creations back to us. Whatever we're making online, it isn't amateur any more.

If creative acts online have facilitated AI's environmental impact, alt-right politics, neoliberal economics, they are also at the heart of effective activism, community-building, political solidarities. What we make online is political, not only in content but because it's here in this public forum, because so much of it comes from people who never had a voice in any public forum before. An aesthetic revolution as big as modernism, internet amateurism has changed how we think, talk about and see our world. It asks us to re-evaluate not only what art, and what an artist is, but the divide between the amateur and professional itself.
