Title: The Problem with Everything Pdf My Journey Through the New Culture Wars
From "one of the most emotionally exacting, mercilessly candid, deeply funny, and intellectually rigorous writers of our time" (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild) comes a seminal new audiobook that reaches surprising truths about feminism, the Trump era, and the Resistance movement. You won't be able to stop thinking and talking about it. In the fall of 2016, New York Times best-selling author Meghan Daum began working on a book about the excesses of contemporary feminism. With Hilary Clinton soon to be elected, she figured even the most fiercely liberal of her friends and readers could take the criticisms in stride. But after the election, she knew she needed to do more, and her nearly completed manuscript went in the trash. What came out in its place is the most sharply observed and all-encompassing work of her career. In this gripping new work, Meghan examines our country's most intractable problems with clear-eyed honesty instead of exaggerated outrage. With passion, humor, and most importantly, nuance, she tries to make sense of the current landscape - from Donald Trump's presidency to the #MeToo movement and beyond. In the process, she wades into the waters of identity politics and intersectionality, thinks deeply about the gender wage gap, and tests a theory about the divide between Gen Xers and millennials. This signature work may well be the first to capture the essence of this era in all its nuances and contradictions. No matter where you stand on its issues, this audiobook will strike a chord.
Boring and narcissistic The book had some informative information but it was totally submerged in the endless detail of the author's not very interesting life. In the end I was happy to not have to hear one more word about her.AN ENGAGING AMERICAN VOICE Meghan Daum is receiving much praise for her sharp cultural insights. I also want to praise her writing, her engaging colloquial American voice in its nuanced, energetic, sometimes biting, always clear, funny, emotionally rich manner of our best American stylists.She Gives us What we Most Need--Nuance Tim Kreider recommended this book and I think it really delivered. Daum is willing to say the one thing that our culture right now needs so much more of--"I don't know." "Maybe." "Well here's my take." Not THE definitive take. She doesn't have all the answers, and she's uncomfortable with those that say they do. We are awash in conservative/liberal certainty, and it too often has the effect of dehumanizing the other side.Daum gives us a good start--we need more people of prominence questioning our dominant narratives whose brashness, stridency and certainty do a great job of shutting down dialogue and debate. What debate is there to be had with a moral monster?I appreciate her blending her reflections on the current state of our culture with her personal life--isn't that all of our experience? Isn't the political the personal, and vice versa? She does it with deliberateness and aplomb; no wasted words.
