SUMMARY:Ryan Ruby - English
DESCRIPTION:Context Collapse\n\nInterview conducted by Carolyn Biltoft\, as
 sociate professor of International History at Geneva Graduate Institute (I
 HEID)\n\nIn collaboration with IHEID\n\nBorn in 1983\, RYAN RUBY is an Ame
 rican writer\, currently based in Berlin. His essays and reviews have appe
 ared in publications such as The New Yorker\, Harper’s\, The New York Re
 view of Books\, and The New York Times. His debut novel\, The Zero and the
  One (Twelve Books\, 2017)\, is a gothic meditation about the power of som
 ber ideas and seductive yet manipulative friendships.\n\nHis most recent w
 ork\, Context Collapse (Seven Stories Press\, 2024)\, is a book-length poe
 m\, which offers a sweeping history of poetry from the Bronze Age to Greec
 e and to Renaissance Italy. With a detour to the cafés of Grub Street and
  the Latin Quarter\, the reader is introduced to the creative writing depa
 rtments of the American Midwest before finally reaching the complexities o
 f Silicon Valley. Ryan Ruby will read selected passages from the poem\, fo
 llowed by a wider conversation about his work and a discussion on what lit
 erature and poetry still have to offer today and how they might continue t
 o orient us in the future.
