Notes
Description
"North American edition of Things Are Against Us, published by Galley Beggar Press in July 2021. Things Are Against Us is a collection of satirical essays. They treat subjects such as the obstinancy, incorrigibility, and recalcitrance of THINGS, which have a lot to answer for; Laura Ingalls Wilder's unimpressive descriptions of the construction of bobsleds, railways, and complicated dresses, and the astonishing amount of food Almanzo Wilder ate in a day; our efforts to stand on our own two feet, put our best foot forward, remain footloose and fancy-free, only inevitably to put our foot in it; the first suggestion the internet offers when you Google the word 'women' (spoiler: it's shoes); the nobility of buttons; and what the rejection of tourists by Jordanian donkeys should mean for global air travel. Ingrid Bergman and Jane Austen come into it somewhere (Helen Gurley Brown was forcibly removed). Early versions of some of these essays appeared in international outlets of record, but others are brand-new. Primary concerns are feminism, antifascism, and environmentalism, and the intersections between them. Many of the essays were previously published in the New York Times, the Guardian, the Globe and Mail, the Irish Times, and elsewhere. The first essay begins with a reference to the 2021 Capitol riot. Many allude to or are inspired by the lockdown experience and related pandemic concerns"--,Provided by publisher.
