5.0

Truly thankful for the amazing compilation of letters from progressive authors of our time. Definitely timely and perfect for giving us a much-needed dose of hope. My favorites include: "America" by Parnaz Foroutan, "Human Rights is the Handhold, Pass it On" by Mkhja Kahf, "A Time to Demand the Impossible" by Viet Thanh Nguyen, "The Fear and The Resistance" by Jedf Chang, Claire Messud’s letter to her daughter, “The Most Important Act of Resistance” by Meredith Russo, and Celeste Ng’s “Stay Open.”

“Every moment our fears and anxieties hold dominion over us is a moment that those who hate have stolen from us, and we must give them nothing.” -M. Russo
