First penned in the aftermath of 9/11, Don't Let Me Be Lonely is a deep and disturbing look into the American psyche. Through personal and fictive essays, news excerpts, research studies, and TV snippets, Rankine looks at the violence of the US empire both at home and abroad. Compared to her previous books, this one feels both broader in terms of themes explored and narrower in scope of time. This is one book that will keep revealing new depths each time you read.
