Leave Love with Me
Desire for beauty is at the heart of human existence. Some find this meaning out of their religious or spiritual perspective. Some find it at the edge of their traditions. And others find it outside any recognizable tradition. This book speaks especially to the second and third groups of people. Desire releases us to explore difference, and to honor alternatives. Desire shapes our lives in unique ways. It centers our energies for personal and relational change, where difference can be debated, and variety permitted. We might transcend circumstances that limit us. Desire is more than "meaningfulness," it is captivation of mind and spirit to life's possibility. In my discovery, desire is an abandonment to beauty.
Whose Language?
"For the colonized person, objectivity is always directed against him" (Frantz Fanon). Colonized persons do not live on what we call (or used to call) the "colonies" alone. In general, objective reality, or the "facts of life", are very different depending on the kind of life you can afford. This goes for language as well; and it explains both the title of this book, and gives it its "raison d'être". It deals with power in language, and asks: Who is really in command when we use "our" language? And why does it make sense to talk about a language of power (or lack of it)? The powerful are the colonizers, the colonized are the powerless, in language as in geopolitics. Colonizers and colonized alike, however, are subject to the social and economic conditions prevailing in society and therefore, a thorough analysis of these conditions is a must for any socially-oriented theory of language use.

Mæt af dage
I december 2023 gav Ebbe Preisler sig selv og sin kone Mariann Preisler en dødelig dosis metadon. Hun døde, han overlevede og blev efterfølgende sigtet for drab. I MÆT AF DAGE fortæller Ebbe Preisler for første gang hele historien om sit og Marianns liv sammen gennem 55 år. Det er historien om at vokse op som krigsbørn i 1940’erne i sovebyerne Virum og Sorgenfri, om det første møde på en færge mellem Hundested og Grenå, om Thylejren og ungdomsoprøret, om et kærligt og kaotisk familieliv og to rige arbejdsliv, Mariann som kunstner og Ebbe som dokumentarfilmproducent. I 1990’erne får Mariann konstateret Parkinsons, og Ebbe bliver med tiden ansat af Frederiksberg Kommune som hendes personlige hjælper. Men fra 2021 forværres hendes tilstand, og i 2023 får ægteparret trykt en kronik i Politiken med rubrikken ”Vi vil gerne dø”. Bogen er et generationsportræt og et personligt vidnesbyrd om at være mæt af dage efter et langt og meningsfyldt liv. Og det er en nøgtern og rørende fortælling, der stiller spørgsmålet: ”Har vi pligt til at leve til den bitre ende?”
