Dear friends,
I have some exciting announcements to share with you.
First, I'm delighted to say that my biography of Henri Bergson Herald of a Restless World will be available in paperback from June 19. You can find links to order it here.


Here are some of the nice things people have said about Herald of a Restless World:
“The most intellectually stimulating book I read this year” John Banville, New Statesman’s Best Books of 2024
A “lively and deft biography of Bergson” The New York Times.
"Herring weaves together biographical detail with lucid accounts of [Bergson's] basic ideas. She has produced a much-needed reintroduction of Bergson to English-language readers." The Wall Street Journal
Written in graceful prose and drawing a clear analogy with contemporary techno-optimism and its discontents, this captivates.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A solidly researched and earnestly accessible portrait of a creative, free-thinking intellect." Kirkus Reviews
Second, I’ll be speaking about Bergson and the book at the London Buddhist Centre on July 5, as part of their Philosophy East series. The event will explore how Bergson’s ideas resonate with Buddhist thought and our contemporary moment of spiritual and philosophical restlessness. If you're in London, I'd love to see you there. You can grab your ticket here.
Finally, I have recently started writing columns for The New World (until quite recently known as The New European). My articles are mostly at the intersection between pop culture and philosophy and you can find them here!
Thank you, as always, for reading and supporting my work.
Warmly,
Emily
Congratulations on your book….that’s amazing!
For those of you who received the email version, sorry for all the typos including the one where I got the title of my own book wrong
