About This Book
"There are three forms of strike I'd recommend: a housework strike, a labor strike, and a sex strike. I can't wait for the first two." Lucy Ellmann's essay collection is on the way. The essays explore a variety of topics and key figures including feminism, environmental catastrophe, labour strikes, sex strikes, Little House On The Prairie, Donald Trump, Alfred Hitchcock and Virginia Woolf.
Reviews
"It's in the titular—previously unpublished—essay that Ellmann reminds the reader what she's capable of doing with language ..."
"In this offbeat essay collection, novelist Ellmann...addresses complex systemic ills alongside petty grievances in an acerbic and hilarious litany of complaints ..."
"These can occasionally seem cheap, particularly when a well-positioned zinger comes at the expense of fact...or when tenuous arguments are proffered for the sole purpose of wordplay ..."
"entertaining without being haranguing."
