Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein

informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

I've not read any of Naomi Klein's other books, but this one has the air of a profound act of diagnosis that verges on prophecy. The framing device (the exploration of Klein's "doppelganger" Naomi Wolf, and her descent into right-wing quackery) threatens to wear thin, but never quite does. Once the mid-point hits, Klein leaves the realm of introspection and truly hits her stride in a brilliant exploration of contemporary movement politics, political discourse, and the progressive political imaginary.

The prose is sharp and often poignant. Super well written, and makes me want to read more from her. Definitely recommended.
