We're witches, and we're hunting you.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the moment powerful men started falling to the #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism gone too far, this is injustice, this is a witch hunt. In \u003ci\u003eThe Witches \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eAre Coming\u003c\/i\u003e, firebrand author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTimes \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling memoir and now critically acclaimed Hulu TV series \u003ci\u003eShrill\u003c\/i\u003e, Lindy West, turns that refrain on its head. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You've got one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes tragic, politics of not being a white man in the twenty-first century. She tracks the misogyny and propaganda hidden (or not so hidden) in the media she and her peers devoured growing up, a buffet of distortions, delusions, prejudice, and outright bullsh*t that has allowed white male mediocrity to maintain a death grip on American culture and politics-and that delivered us to this precarious, disorienting moment in history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWest writes, \"We were just a hair's breadth from electing America's first female president to succeed America's first black president. We weren't done, but we were doing it. And then, true to form--like the Balrog's whip catching Gandalf by his little gray bootie, like the husband in a Lifetime movie hissing, 'If I can't have you, no one can'--white American voters shoved an incompetent, racist con man into the White House.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe cannot understand how we got here'--how the land of the free became Trump's America--without examining the chasm between who we are and who we think we are, without fact-checking the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and each other. The truth can transform us; there is witchcraft in it. Lindy West turns on the light.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Witches Are Coming | Lindy West | Hardcover | 9780316449885 | Used: Like New | Essays 1674709 (temp: 28)","offer_id":49287683244184,"sku":"1674709","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/916CZVdHkmL.jpg?v=1781896402","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/witches-are-coming","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
