The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West. Lindy West is back with more essays on the world we live in. This time it is the #metoo movement, misogyny, and The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West. Lindy West is back with more essays on the world we live in. This time it is the #metoo movement, misogyny, and giving a funny and yet critical critique on the patriarchy. As 45 ends his presidency I thought it would be a good read for 2021. Some of the essays I really enjoyed were Adam Sandler’s popularity (I don’t get it either), Goop (The privilege of wellness), Ted Bundy (likability), and Grumpy Cat (learned something new there). As usual the book is highly quotable: “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.” While I did enjoy a lot of the essays and yet, for some reason, I did not like it as much as Shrill. Maybe its because I have read too many essays on the exact same topics over the last four years. Or maybe I just agree with her way too much and am frakking exhausted. No matter what I love the quote for the book: THIS IS A WITCH HUNT. WE’RE WITCHES, AND WE’RE HUNTING YOU. Have you read it? What did you think?...more
