'I loved her ruthless, impatient thinking, her ferocious attention' Adam Thirlwell, New Statesman Books of the Year 2025From one of the most talented young thinkers in the US, a warm, funny and intellectually dazzling call for excess, ecstasy and disorder in an age of sterility and minimalismTIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024NEW YORK TIMES' 100 MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2024PROSPECT BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2024'Scintillating writing of breadth and power' Observer'Seriously precise and very funny' Telegraph'A radical and important book' James WoodOur culture's embrace of minimalism and uniformity has left our souls impoverished. Decluttering has reduced our living spaces to empty non-places; the mindfulness trend has emptied our minds of the thoughts that make us who we are; and the regularization of sex has drained it of unpredictability and therefore true eroticism.In an age of oppressive sterility and limitation, All Things Are Too Small is a refreshing and much-needed tonic: a soul cry for derangement, imbalance, obsession, ravishment and disorder.
