We're giving away 10 copies of Lefebvre's Critique of Everyday Life!
"Clever images of the everyday are supplied on a day-to-day basis, images that can make the ugly beautiful, the empty full, the sordid elevated, and the hideous 'fascinating'... It is indeed very difficult to resist being seduced and fascinated by them, except by becoming rigidly puritanical, and, in rejecting 'sensationalism', rejecting 'the present' and life itself." - Henri Lefebvre, The Critique of Everyday Life
To celebrate the launch of Lefebvre's essential analysis of daily life under capitalism, available for the first time in one complete volume, we're giving away 10 free copies.
To be in with a chance of winning, send us your critique of everyday life, summed up in one line! Extra points will be given for wit, humor, snark, bracing observation, giddy optimism/pessimism, anachronisms, Lefebvre references, and emoji.
Send in your entry by commenting below, tweeting us (using the hashtag #Lefebvre) or posting on our Facebook wall.
