Why read it?
1 author picked The Work of Literature in an Age of Post-Truth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this writer’s brilliant combination of memoir, eco- and literary criticism, and an exploration of contemporary life.
Each chapter feels so personal, and yet Schaberg manages to connect these experiences to broader questions of how we live our lives, what matters, and how many things (including the health of the planet and the confidence we have in truth) are under threat–and we need to protect them simultaneously.
I imagine Schaberg is as deeply engaging teacher as he is a writer. I found this book deeply compelling and relevant.
From Virginia's list on combating post-truth contagions.
