Major thanks to NetGalley and Random House for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts:
Who are your friends? What do they stand for? What do the6. Noose to believe in?How do they believe in it? Is there thought in action or action thought? Which comes first? Who comes first?
Told in dual time framework, you realize where protest belongs when compared to the individual vs collectivism. And with very real characters, you get a better sense of who you are and where you stand, especially in turbulent times like now. What is performative? What does it mean to be in the mean streets? Has violence changed? Or is how we see violence changed?
Silverman has created a timely text that though is hard to get along with at first, you end up thinking of the characters outside of the narrative and you watch the news and you think, what the hell am I supposed to be doing? For whose sake? And what about my own sake? And for which others?
Not one to be missed.
