Preorders are now open for Cured Quail Vol. 2. Full table of contents below. Orders can be placed here. The more preorders we receive, the faster the printer cylinders rotate.

Read the editorial for Vol. 2: The New Parochialism.

Otherwise, we’ve made available two essays from our first volume: "Do We Live in a Society of the Spectacle?" by Paul Mattick and "Virtual Experience" by Christoph Hesse. Additionally, you can also read, from our second volume, Anselm Jappe's "What are the Children Lacking?" as well as "Enemies of Art for the Sake of its Realization" by A New Institute for Social Research. The latter is a response to Chris Crawford's "Taking Comfort in Society", which was published in our first volume. We have also now added from our upcoming second volume Peter Samol's "Narcissism as Norm."
