In this powerful and wide-ranging collection of essays, Rebecca Solnit turns her attention to the war at home. This is a war, she says, "with so many casualties that we should call it by its true name, this war with so many dead by police, by violent ex-husbands and partners and lovers, by people pursuing power and profit at the point of a gun or just shooting first and figuring out who they hit later." To get to the root of these American crises, she contends that "to acknowledge this state of war is to admit the need for peace," countering the despair of our age with a dose of solidarity, creativity, and hope.

Solnit har en förmåga att bryta ner normer och strukturer på begripligt sätt. Läsvärd!

Informativt, intressant och inspirerande. Solnit har ett fantastiskt språk och med perfekt inläsning blir det magiskt. Önskar Storytel hade fler av hennes böcker och essäer.

Klok och tänkvärd. Som att läsa några essäer ur söndagstidningen.
