Nicholas Muellner: 'Love in a Time of Allegory’ [Launch & talk]

Join us at Printed Matter for a book launch and lecture from Nicholas Muellner, to celebrate the release of Love in a Time of Allegory. 

Love in a Time of Allegory asks how we can still feel, desire, and imagine in an age of relentless realism. Moving between images and text, Nicholas Muellner’s illustrated essay turns to allegory as a way of thinking through politics, love, and meaning when private life is inseparable from public crisis.

Haunted by political and ecological anxiety and by the erosion of shared truths, Muellner argues that realism jeopardizes our capacity to imagine the world as anything other than it already is, asking how fiction and metaphor might open other ways of seeing. The book unfolds as a meditation on desire and belief, on how intimacy persists within disillusionment, and how emotion becomes a form of resistance.
