Beschreibung
In this illuminating polemic, Booker Prize nominee Elif Shafak reflects on our age of pessimism, when emotions guide and misguide our politics, and misinformation and fear are the norm. In a plea for optimism, Shafak delves into the power of stories to reveal how writing can nurture democracy, tolerance and progress. How do we keep our optimism when it feels like the world is falling apart?
