Summary:

In this wickedly funny cultural critique, the writer from the critically acclaimed memoir and Hulu series Shrill exposes misogyny in the #MeToo era. THAT IS A WITCH HUNT.WE’RE WITCHES,AND WE’RE HUNTING YOU.

From the moment powerful guys started falling to the #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism gone too much, that is injustice, that is a witch hunt. In The Witches Are Coming, firebrand author of the New York Occasions bestselling memoir and now critically acclaimed Hulu Television series about The Witches Are Coming Shrill, Lindy Western world, transforms that refrain on its mind. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You have one.

Inside a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark is based on the heart from the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and occasionally tragic, politics of not really being truly a white man in the twenty-first century. She paths the misogyny and propaganda concealed (or not so hidden) in the press she and her peers devoured developing up, a buffet of distortions, delusions, prejudice, and outright bullsh*t which has allowed white male mediocrity to keep up a death hold on American culture and politics-and that delivered us to this precarious, disorienting minute in history.

Western world writes, ‘We were only a hair’s breadth from electing America’s initial female president to achieve success America’s first black president. We weren’t performed, but we were doing it. And, accurate to form-like the Balrog’s whip catching Gandalf by his small 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 guy into the White House.’

We cannot know how we got here-how the property of the free of charge became Trump’s America-without examining the chasm between who we are and who we think we are, without fact-checking the stories we show ourselves about ourselves and each other. The reality can transform us; there is certainly witchcraft in it. Lindy West becomes on the light.
