In parte catarsi, in parte diagnosi, questa raccolta divinamente ironica del New Yorker e del satirico di McSweeney Eli Grober toccherà una corda sensibile nei lettori che sono sgomenti per il caos dei nostri tempi. Niente di tutto ciò aiuterà, ma qualche bella risata non farà male. Probabilmente. C'.È molto da fare, tutto il tempo. Potrebbe sembrare opprimente. Non preoccuparti. Finirà. This Won't Help .È qui per te nel frattempo, con 100 saggi brevi, taglienti e satirici che trafiggono un mondo in preda all'inazione, massimizzando al contempo i profitti dell'autodistruzione. Come se ciò potesse aiutare. La prosa tagliente e swiftiana di Eli Grober non risparmia nessuno, né il miliardario megalomane che fugge dalla Terra per una vita su un Marte invivibile, né una famiglia estremamente online che vive completamente fuori dalla rete, nemmeno un lobbista dei combustibili fossili che insiste perché smettiamo tutti di usare le cannucce. (Eli dedica un pensiero gentile ai lettori estremamente intelligenti che hanno avuto il buon senso di acquistare questo libro.) Forse, solo forse, scendere attraverso l'inferno del nostro panorama ambientale, e politico ci aiuterà a trovare soluzioni reali all'ipocrisia e alla disfunzione che ci circonda. Ma probabilmente no.

Hardback. Condizione: New. There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime-with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help! Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one-not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent readers with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not. Codice articolo LU-9781615199990
