Product Information
In this wickedly funny cultural critique, the author of the critically acclaimed memoir and Hulu series Shrill exposes misogyny in the #MeToo era. This is a witch hunt. We're witches, and we're hunting you. From the moment powerful men started falling to the #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism gone too far, this is injustice, this is a witch hunt. In The Witches Are Coming , firebrand author of the New York Times bestselling memoir and now critically acclaimed Hulu TV series Shrill , Lindy West, turns that refrain on its head. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You've got one.In a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes tragic, politics of not being a white man in the twenty-first century. She tracks the misogyny and propaganda hidden (or not so hidden) in the media she and her peers devoured growing up, a buffet of distortions, delusions, prejudice, and outright bullsh*t that has allowed white male mediocrity to maintain a death grip on American culture and politics-and that delivered us to this precarious, disorienting moment in history.West writes, "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."We cannot understand how we got here'--how the land of the free became Trump's America--without examining the chasm between who we are and who we think we are, without fact-checking the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and each other. The truth can transform us; there is witchcraft in it. Lindy West turns on the light.

MOMTASTIC, "Best Books to Pick Up This Holiday Season" Mashable, "Best Books by Women in 2019" BUST Magazine, "6 New Books Perfect for the Coldest Winter Months", A biting and profoundly funny social and political critique of rape culture, toxic masculinity, and misogyny., Lindy West is funny. That's the first thing you should know about her essay collection on feminism, fat acceptance, and Internet harassment....Lindy has faced so many intolerable and enraging situations as a fat woman who is outspoken in her writing and on social media, but she always frames her negative experiences with humor and perspective. With her clear-eyed insights into modern culture and her confidence in her own intelligence and personal worth, West appeals to the humanity of even the most parents' basement-dwelling, misogynistic and casually hateful of trolls., Inthis time of great frustration, this collection is a clearing in the woods tomeet, to reflect, to dance, and to cackle around the fire., There's some beautiful, joyful writing here: West defies cliches both by being persistently hilarious and deeply loving.....In the same way that West traces the sobering long-term consequences of fighting over big cultural issues in public, she also writes with substance and grace about living in her own body in a way that transcends the sometimes facile cheerleading for body positivity that shows up everywhere, from feminist Tumblrs to the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.....It's not easy to talk about the work and consequences involved in changing the world; we crave triumphal stories and incidents to get outraged by. The strength of "Shrill," though, is the way it captures both halves of the equation, the joy of those hard-fought victories and the pain incurred in battle.-- Washington Post, "'For a long time, a certain set of men have called women like me "witches" to silence and discredit us,' West says. Her book explores misogyny, the #MeToo movement and growing up female in America.", When I have a hard time making sense of and finding the words to describe the complexities of women's issues, I turn to Lindy West. There's something about her sharp, steady, and ferociously funny writing that re-centers and refocuses my mind on what's in front of me and why it matters. West has a gift for packaging the truth into easily digestible sentences. And her latest collection of essays, The Witches Are Coming is no different... The next time you're feeling lost or can't find the words to describe why you're angry about a particular topic, pick up The Witches Are Coming . Lindy will lead the way., A biting and profoundly funny social and politicalcritique of rape culture, toxic masculinity, and misogyny., With her signature wit, brio, and laser-like clarity of vision, one of our foremost thinkers on gender unveils her unifying theory of America...in this funny, hyper-literate analysis of the link between meme culture and male mediocrity., The Witches Are Coming is Lindy West's follow-up to her wonderful, best-selling book Shrill. She's back with more of her incisive cultural critiques, writing essays on feminism and the misogyny that is (still) embedded in every part of our culture. She brings humor, wit, and much-needed clarity to the gender dynamics at play in media and culture.|9781549180538|, This collection of essays takes ahammer to the societal, cultural and political scaffolding propping up thepatriarchy and then makes you laugh as it comes crashing down., One of our foremost thinkers on gender unveils her unifying theory of America...[A] funny, hyper-literate analysis., As a girl, Lindy West obsessed about pop culture. As a critic and columnist, she analyzed it. Now she's creating it... In her wise, witty new collection of essays, The Witches Are Coming ...West blasts the misogyny lurking in the media we love., West came of age as a writer in the full light of the Internet, a young feminist speaking out against fat-shaming--publicly addressing her colleague at the Stranger, Dan Savage--and writing about periods and rape jokes at Jezebel the Guardian....[reveals] how vital it is for young women to raise their voices., Amazon, "Best Books of the Month in Nonfiction" E! News, "The Best New Books of November 2019!" Esquire , "Best Nonfiction Books of 2019, [This book] highlights one of West's greatest gifts, beyondher voice and humor--her ability to shine clarifying light on the dark, knottedbits of culture without divesting herself of that culture completely., Ask West one question, and the feminist writer and film critic's answer feels like wandering into an extraordinarily engaging women's studies class taught by your favorite comedian. West pings back and forth between astute commentary about the role of women in society to clever asides on the idiocy of trolls to riotous observations about life on the Internet., Author and narrator Lindy West is at her incendiary best in her latest collection of essays...West's sharp and sometimes biting narration perfectly captures the dry humor of her own jokes. But there are also moments when her voice almost catches, revealing her deep compassion for the world. Her anger and exhaustion come through loud and clear, but so does her earnest hope for the work still to be done. This is a must listen...Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award., Lindy West brought us to tears (through laughing, mostly) with Shrill: Notes From A Loud Woman , a razor-sharp memoir about toxic misogyny and fat shaming that went on to inspire the fantastic Hulu series. West is back and funny as ever in her forthcoming non-fiction book, The Witches Are Coming , a cultural critique of American culture, the #MeToo movement and what it means to not be a mediocre white man - in a society that so often protects and promotes him., Shrill author Lindy West's latest essay collection is a thoughtful and funny examination of rape culture in media. Some of the topics she tackles: Adam Sandler, Donald Trump, South Park, 'reverse sexism,' and classic movies like Sixteen Candles that make rape look like 'silly fun.'-- Bustle, One of our foremost thinkers on gender unveils her unifying theory of America: that our steady diet of pop culture created by and for embittered, entitled white men has stoked our sociopolitical moment. Adam Sandler, South Park, and Pepe the Frog all come under West's withering scrutiny in this funny, hyper-literate analysis of the link between meme culture and male mediocrity., A cornucopia of shrewd cultural observations... [West's] sharp wit and no-nonsense sense of humor also shines through... [West] drives home the critical issues of our time while taking time to tickle our funny bones. Satirical, raw, and unapologetically real, West delivers the bittersweet truths on contemporary living., Searingly smart... [with an] overarching tone of swashbuckling courage: West knows what she wants to say, and she really doesn't care what you think... a stirring manifesto for honesty... and an exhortation to give a damn., Uproariously funny...Readers will delight in West's biting clarity....Despite its serious subject, West's ribald jokes, hilarious tirades, and raucous confessions keep her memoir skipping merrily along as she jumps from painful confession to powerful epiphany. Sure to be a boon for anyone who has struggled with body image, Shrill is a triumphant, exacting, absorbing memoir that will lay new groundwork for the way we talk about the taboo of being too large., A thoughtful and funny examination of rape culture in media. Some of the topics she tackles: Adam Sandler, Donald Trump, South Park, 'reverse sexism, ' and classic movies like Sixteen Candles that make rape look like 'silly fun.', Cultural critic (Lindy) West focuses her keen eye andsardonic sense of humor on, among other topics, misogyny in the Trumpianpolitical landscape..., Lindy West's memoir is a witty and cathartic take on toxic misogyny and fat shaming. She comes to accept her body just as Internet trolls congregate en masse to try to rip this new confidence from her, but she's rearing to fight back...In Shrill , West is our fat, ferocious, and funny avenging angel., Only Lindy West, one of our foremost thinkers on gender, could capture the agony and the ecstasy of 21st century life in one slim volume... In these 17 stellar essays, West crafts a blistering indictment of the systems that oppress us--the government that denies our rights, the media that denies our stories, the society that denies our dignity. Yet even so, West's work is always threaded through with hope--an unshakable belief that we can and will triumph over the forces that seek to break us. Coupled with her laser-focused cultural criticism, what emerges is a portrait of hope amid the uncertainty., The Witches are Coming is simultaneously whip smart, infuriating, a call to action and, of course, laugh-out-loud funny., West's unique perspectives on racism, sexism, climatechange, and more are so necessary, and this collection is a call to action thatcan't be ignored., Lindy West's name may already be familiar to readers of Jezebel or to anyone who listened to her fascinating, brutal piece on internet trolls for This American Life . Her collection of essays takes on stereotypes, gender politics, beauty standards and other topics she attacks with her thoughtful, clever, cutting and inspiring commentary., From Facebook to Goop, cancel culture to climate change, the essays here add West's discerning and quick-witted voice to the conversation about what social and environmental justice looks like, and what it can look like in the future. So if you need a little magic in your Halloween reading, pick this one up., One of our foremost thinkers on gender unveils her unifying theory of America...[A] funny, hyperliterate analysis., With her signature wit, brio, and laser-like clarity of vision, one of our foremost thinkers on gender unveils her unifying theory of America: that our steady diet of pop culture created by and for embittered, entitled white men has stoked our sociopolitical moment. Adam Sandler, South Park , and Pepe the Frog all come under West's withering scrutiny in this funny, hyper-literate analysis of the link between meme culture and male mediocrity., One of the most distinctive voices advancing feminist politics through humor...With patience, humor and a wildly generous attitude toward her audience [West] meets readers at their point of prejudice so that she may, with little visible effort, shepherd them toward a more humane point of view., Equal parts hilarious and sobering, West's words willhelp fellow witches articulate why they are so fired up (YES!)., The book made me simultaneously laugh out loudand want to pull my hair out. West's snappy writing is funny but full of anger,and I felt myself instantly sucked in.
