In \u003ci\u003eThe Witches Are Coming\u003c\/i\u003e, firebrand author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West unpacks 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 that 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 our culture and our politics - and that delivered us to this precarious, disorienting moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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 about each other. The truth can transform us; there is witchcraft in it. Lindy West turns on the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Lindy continues to be one of the funniest, smartest writers around.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJessica Valenti, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eFull Frontal Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSex Object\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'GET ME A BROOM.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSamantha Irby, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWe're Never Meeting in Real Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46522752336108,"sku":"9781760875374","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26140683482814.jpg?v=1749043409","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-witches-are-coming-by-lindy-west-9781760875374","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
