Forest of knowledge: Autumn '24

books, film, music, and essay recommendations

Close Up

This is Forest of Knowledge, a series for paying subscribers. For those new here, every season I share books, podcasts, music, and movies that I am currently using in my research, or that have particularly impacted my thoughts and reflections through the years. If you like this kind of stuff, don’t forget that under every essay in this newsletter, you can find an Inspiration Station, where I share two or three discoveries from my week.

You can find all previous editions of this Series here.

As I’ve said before, my art is not an island; instead, it is tenderly fed, nurtured, and cared for by all the people who have created art. Absorbing other art makes me feel less alone, it offers a world of possibilities, and this is why this series is such an important part of this newsletter. I hope these pieces of art plant a seed, make your heart softer for the day, or maybe just entertain you. Enjoy!
