Summary

Gathering in one place for the first time previously unpublished work, as well as already classic essays, the book offers a survey of recent events in culture and politics, as well as the author's own life. Equally at home in the world of good books and bad politics, Brooklyn-born rappers and the work of Swiss novelists, she is by turns wry, heartfelt, indignant, and incisive
