DescriptionAn antidote to despair about our turbulent times from writers including Junot Diaz, Karen Joy Fowler, Claire Messud, Celeste Ng, Hari Kunzru and Jane Smiley. In the tradition of Ta-Nehisi Coates' BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME and James Baldwin, RADICAL HOPE is a collection of love letters - to ancestors, to children five generations from now, to strangers in supermarket queues, to any and all who feel weary and discouraged - written by award-winning novelists, poets, political thinkers, and activists. Provocative and inspiring, RADICAL HOPE offers readers a kaleidoscopic view of the love and courage needed to navigate this time of upheaval, uncertainty, and fear, in view of the recent US presidential election and the rise of nationalism across Europe. Author descriptionCarolina De Robertis is the award-winning author of the novels The Gods of Tango, Perla, and The Invisible Mountain. A long-time activist, De Robertis spent ten years in the non-profit sector before publishing her first book, and during that time she led projects around issues including women's rights, immigrant rights and addressing sexual violence. She teaches creative writing at San Francisco State University, and lives in Oakland, California with her wife and two children. |
