THE GARDEN AGAINST TIME Publication Day

On publication day it always seems as if books have been magicked out of thin air, but The Garden Against Time has been magicked out of years of thinking and struggle by the thinkers and artists and gardeners that Olivia Laing celebrates in this beautiful book about making a garden on earth that everyone can live in. It is also a book that has been long in the making of her own life and art. It recalls the painful limbo of The Lonely City and the hell of Everybody. Its passion is encapsulated inOlivia's NYT op-ed today.

Happy publication day Olivia Laing. And Happy May Day to William Morris and his dream of what life and work could be.
