COMING SEPTEMBER 2026! For the last two years I have been extremely grateful to this book. It gave me something to do with my emotions, with my horror, with my sense of betrayal. It gave me a sense of filial piety: toward the people who came before me, toward the people who had a sense of who they were, of what they owed to those who came before them, and to those who will come after. This book is about the moral aristocracy of the Jewish people, people who have lit the way in such a dark time. I’m so grateful to @tgebremedhin @doubledaybooks and @thecleggagency for the support and love that made it possible for me to write this book. And to Oliver Munday for this beautiful cover.

UK PAPERBACK ARRIVES! Pardon me while I exult over the arrival of this latest avatar of my beloved book about my beloved artists. It is somehow even more luscious in paperback: something I hope people will pop into their bag and take with them on a trip to the Dutch galleries, something I hope will get people as excited to discover these artists as I was and still remain. Huge love to the geniuses who made this possible @penguinukbooks @mariabedford89 @corina.reads @hamiltonagent @thecleggagency Noosha Alai-South

I know this is a lot of book stuff but this gives me a sense of ... life, so I want y’all to know that my paperback is out in the US! With thanks as ever to everyone who has made this possible @eccobooks @combustiblegirl @mulrooca @kimberlyburnspr @clegg77 and everyone else I am forgetting in my excitement!

“The American Jewish identity has been weaponised as a cover for genocide” Equator’s Nesrine Malik talks to the writer Benjamin Moser, whose personal story and political analysis reveal the entanglement between American Judaism and the project of American power. Drawing on his upbringing in a Jewish-American community, Benjamin reflects on the values he was raised with and how they intersected with a broader narrative of American exceptionalism. Moser narrates how the alignment between liberal Zionism and US global dominance has shaped both political discourse and moral frameworks, leading to profound contradictions — and tragic consequences in Gaza. It’s sad, he says, “that Judaism and [the] Jewish identity could be weaponised to the extent that it could be used as a cover for genocide.” Find us on Spotify, Apple, or any major podcast app of your choice.

At a certain point “we” will have to admit that many accusations of antisemitism might not be 100% genuine.

CONHEÇA "O MUNDO DE PONTA-CABEÇA”, DE BENJAMIN MOSER 📚 Aos 25 anos, Benjamin Moser se mudou para a Holanda. Um novo país, uma língua que não dominava, um cenário diferente, de luzes, sombras e canais, em cidades como Haarlem, Delft e Amsterdã. Nos intervalos de uma vida recomeçada, passou a visitar os grandes museus do país, primeiro por curiosidade — depois com devoção. Diante das telas da chamada Idade de Ouro holandesa, o autor de "Sontag" encontrou não apenas a herança de um esplendor artístico, mas um espelho de suas próprias inquietações. Em meio a nomes imensos como Rembrandt, Vermeer e Hals e outros que o tempo quase apagou, Moser descobriu um universo de artistas extraordinários. Escrito com rara elegância e sensibilidade, além de ricamente ilustrado, “O mundo de ponta-cabeça” é um guia essencial sobre arte holandesa e uma exploração apaixonada de um dos momentos mais esplendorosos da história da arte e da humanidade. 📖 "O MUNDO DE PONTA-CABEÇA", de Benjamin Moser, já está disponível nas livrarias e lojas on-line. Garanta o seu exemplar e boa leitura! 📝 Tradução de Denise Bottmann 🎨 Capa de Elaine Ramos e imagem da capa de Pieter de Hooch #omundodepontacabeça #benjaminmoser #literatura
