“My adult life can be divided into two distinct parts”, Eula Biss writes, “the time before I owned a washing machine and the time after.” Having just purchased her first home, the poet and essayist now embarks on a provocative exploration of the value system she has bought into. Through a series of engaging exchanges - in libraries and laundromats, over barstools and backyard fences - she examines our assumptions about class and property and the ways we internalize the demands of capitalism.

A beautifully written and read meditation on capitalism
Revisado: 05-06-21
This book reads like a string of poems, sometimes repetitive and circular but also meditative and beautiful. Unlike many books about capitalism which feature policy recommendations and calls to action alongside their critiques, To Have and Be Had instead draws us into the messiness of a dehumanizing economic system and asks to stay in the discomfort of examining how complicit we are in what we see. I’ll be buying a print version of this to peruse when I’m questioning the unpaid labor of being a mother and an artist.
