Author Name
Jake Goldsmith (Author)
Jake Goldsmith has cystic fibrosis and a list of other chronic health conditions.His writing focuses on the phenomenology of illness, philosophy, and how illness defines one’s experiences. His memoir ‘Neither Weak Nor Obtuse’ was published by Sagging Meniscus Press in Summer 2022. The title of the book comes from a phrase within a letter that Boris Pasternak sent to Albert Camus in 1957, stating that while there may not be anything beyond ‘sensualism’, a sensualism that is completely naked becomes weak and obtuse. This limitation is explored in Jake’s work. His main intellectual influences include Svetlana Alexievich, Raymond Aron, W.N.P. Barbellion, Albert Camus, Manès Sperber, and Simone Weil. Jake is the founder and director of The Barbellion Prize. An international book prize for ill and disabled authors.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

In these essays-dealing variously with illness and disability, writing and reading, liberty and apathy, distrust and expertise, Raymond Aron and liberalism, love and grief, and Jake's cat Lemons-Jake Goldsmith, author of Neither Weak Nor Obtuse and founder of the Barbellion Prize, demonstrates that the root of philosophy is the courage of honesty. With illustrations by Wend Rend.
