No Straight Road Takes You There

From the climate crisis and the pandemic to trends in masculinity, a stellar collection of Rebecca Solnit's most recent thinking exploring the power of activism. In this latest collection of essays both lyrical and political, Solnit explores the slow, the indirect and the unpredictable and how recognition of these aspects of change equip us to participate in making it. These recent essays about the climate crisis, as well as Solnit's broader reflections on women's rights and the fight for democracy, demonstrate the power of collective action to offer us all an alternative path out of the wilderness.
