Jean-Christophe Bailly (Foreword By) Jean-Christophe Bailly teaches at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Nature et du Paysage, in Blois, France. His books include The Animal Side and The Instant and Its Shadow, as well as many other books and artists' catalogs in French. Cory Stockwell (Translator) Cory Stockwell is Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. His translations include books by Mariette Navarro and Pascal Bruckner.
Nancy's little book helps us dispel the notion that there is a primordial stability of home to be defended against the disruptions of migration. For Nancy, the life of the city exemplifies the mobility or 'passing by' that is characteristic of 'being with' as an ontological condition.---Rafael Sánchez, Graduate Institute of Geneva Written in a tone that is always poetic, at times even lyrical, The City in the Distance is thought-provoking and a pleasure to read. As a philosophical and writerly meditation, a research-creation of sorts, the book invests a place (here the city of Los Angeles) with words and language in order to make it produce its own space and time.---Verena Andermatt Conley, Harvard University
