OR shORts is an annual subscription of short books appearing once every two months and covering, in its first year, themes as diverse as birds, life in Beirut, BDS in NYC food coops, the films of Chris Marker, the glories of the post office, and a doctor’s work in a Gaza hospital. The topics range widely but the series is unified by clear, accessible writing, elegant design and printing, and a desire to change the world in a progressive direction—recognizing that means more than voting or protesting, vital as those activities are. So, sign up, keep an eye on your mailbox, and be prepared to be stimulated, challenged, engaged, and entertained.
