Auto-Fiction. Translated from the French by Béatrice Mousli. Recipient of the Prix Wepler Fondation La Poste and the Prix Pierre Simon Ethique et Réflexion, WE'RE NOT HERE TO DISAPPEAR begins with the portrait of a man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and goes on to explore the loss of memory, language, and reason.

City of Desires - a Place for God?
Originating at the 2011 conference of the International Academy of Practical Theology in Amsterdam, this volume explores the practical theological significance of desire. Although desire is central to many issues in practical theology and related disciplines, it is only rarely discussed under its own name. Three introductory chapters locate desire in concrete practices in the city and discuss the phenomenology, theology, and ethics of desire. Subsequent sections are organized around embodying desire, culturing desire, and transforming desire. The chapters include various kinds of desire, such as sexuality, consumerism, and spirituality. Perspectives from different contexts and religious traditions are offered in this rich and thought-provoking book. (Series: International Practical Theology - Vol. 16)
